Americans: Do you favor switching to the metric system?
#38
RE: Americans: Do you favor switching to the metric system?
Here in the UK I use miles and kilometers depending on the situation, engineering stuff is all metric, money is metric, time - I was brought up on the 24 hour clock and have to think about 12 hour times (which 9 o'clock do they mean??) but there is no way I can cope with Fahrenheit temperatures - it makes no kind of sense to me at all!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
