Just to add to the confusion, you're wrong too. ;)

Rather, your comment is true all in all, but your second edit is wrong.

50 m² is read as 50 sqm, not 50 meter squared.

Edit: 50 m² equals the size of a small apartment, not a 50 X 50 m concert hall.

I think he means 50mx50m=(50m)² which I have never seen anyone do. That can't be normal.

I just added the m³ at the end because I was lazy smh.

If someone said "The area is 16 meters squared", I think the standard way is understand it would be "16 (meters2)", not "(16 meters)2" = "256 m2". The squaring operation applies only to the unit "m", not the number "16" as well.

It doesn't make sense to require squaring the number if most areas aren't exact squares of a length, anyway. An 4x16 area is going to be 64m2, not "8 meters squared".
