Comment	It’s more that somebody from Glasgow would usually say “15 stone 5” rather than “215 pounds”. Phrasing it that way makes you sound American. And yes, 215 lbs is too big for a 6 foot 2 male. Makes your BMI 27.6 which is in the overweight range. But that wasn’t the point I was trying to make.
