I have used a measuring tape a number of times but not really much. The time I would only use a tape measure is measure how far something goes or orignaly just measure somethings length and write it down or tell someone about it... I mean... isn't that the only use for the tape measure? Cleary I am probably wrong or maybe right about the uses of a tape measure, but I never really use the tape measure and i'm clearly not making sense about this post about the tape measure... the tape measure can be used for many things and not for just lengths they can also measure widths.
