American chickens raised in 2018 are four times smaller than those reared during the 1950s.

I am going to say chicken shit crap. Actually I think it is the other way around. Have you seen the size of some of the chickens in the supermarkets?

I didn't notice that. The creators of the calendar are trying to be tricky again.

It's accepted in the English language that "4 times smaller" is the same as "1/4 as large" but mathematically it's wrong, it sounds terrible, and it needs to stop just like preceding hard H words with "an".

CRAP

They're bigger now, because they're not getting enough exercise!
