Now, here's the thing. a yard of concrete is an AREA.

Isn't a yard of concrete specified as VOLUME?


It's a cubic yard of concrete to specify volume, although due to
lazy-speak, its universally just called it a "yard". Generally, if
someone mentions a "yard of concrete" to a relatively normal,
reasonable, person, they would take it to mean a cubic yard of
concrete unless they specifically qualified it as something else, such
as a square yard.

I totally agree with you. The OP stated and emphasized that is was an area.
