I have no idea what you are either confused by or freaking about and I keep guessing wrong so I'm going to stop trying to reply to these.

The previous *bleet*

The previous one was my laptop, this one is the phone being discussed. As I said it seems fine.

What do you mean what.

Fortunately it was cheap.

I really, really dislike the trope-primary blurb style that has taken over in recent years.
This is your chance to present a character I can get attached to! Why are you wasting it on telling me about things no more useful than like, their weight and height?

You just don't understand the mindset of true measuring unit enthusiasts.

?
It seems fine to me but I'm probably used to converting t/T/oz/c in my head from using them all the time.

Yeah, this too. I've tried a few in-person groups even where it's clearly several people who all only talk to and about each other, with the couple of us newbies just awkwardly smiling at each other. 😅
Not sure you can do anything about that except try a different group.

Although those first four lines seem especially relevant to working with glass...

The immediate answer seems like: nobody doing the reviewing is actually thoroughly reviewing anything because that isn't what their incentives are.

I don't know if that's a common skill in general even. But I guess it makes sense it would be especially lacking among a group focused on how they are presented and received...

Ohhh yeah other countries are even worse. When I was working in Japan I basically had to use a map for anything other than NYC, LA, or DC. If someone had heard of Seattle it was only because that's where Ichiro was playing. XD

As do I, now. 😅 Fortunately more people have heard of Seattle than where I grew up.

Having to clarify is annoying but not a big deal to me personally, but if I hated NYC more (for political or whatever reasons) then I could see it becoming infuriating to have to do all the time.

Nowadays when asked where I'm from I say "the boring part of New York." (Since people also don't know what "upstate" is, much less any of the cities in it.)
