Rule, originally from the Latin regula, a straight stick. Nowadays, it will usually be inscribed with some scale markings, ft, mm, etc
First rule of science: If it's icky, DON'T TOUCH IT!!! Poke it with a stick!!!
It is not accurate. It is very much a "rough-and-ready" approximation.

Parallax error can be corrected by: > Placing the eye vertically above the marking on the scale to be read. If you are measuring a length of an item, say the length of a book, using a metre-rule, I would advise the following pointers: a) Placing your metre-rule on its edges beside the object to be measured, so the scale is touching it. b) Use a thin rule so that the scale is touching the object to be measured. If you are measuring the volume of liquid in a measuring cylinder for example, make sure you positioned your eye to take readings at the bottom of menicus for water and top of menicus for mercury.

The boy measuring stick said to the girl measuring stick, "You're way ahead of me!"
I want to meter
nice to meter you, there's trouble a foot

for measuring
Mainly because the meter stick is thicker and if your eye isn't exactly over the mark you are measuring there will be an error due to parallax. The thinner the measuring device the better result you achieve.
If the calibration starts from the edge of the stick then it is a meter rule Basically "0" starting from the edge And if it is a meter ruler ,there is like half inch of empty space before 0
The boy measuring stick exclaimed, "Wow, I've never seen a measuring stick like you before!" He was intrigued by her unique markings and wondered how they compared to his own. Together, they started measuring everything around them, excited to discover new heights and lengths. Their playful banter turned into a friendly competition to see who could measure the most interesting things.
This is a metallic ruler or measuring device, used for measuring the materials or items in centimetres, inches and millimetres.
it is used for measuring length of something
