Inifinately better than a system based on an erroneous estimate of the length of the equator by a silly little dictator in a funny hat :ddb: I find it very convenient that my shod foot is exactly 12" so can 'step measure' things easily. If it cheers you up, I am now largely metric in the workshop. (But still think in thous for tiny cutting increments !) Andrew |

Using the Imperial system America has put men on the moon and returned them safely 6 times. Haven't heard of any moon landings using the metric system. I might also point out that during WWI and WWII the winners were on the Imperial system while the losers were on metrics. This is a subject that should be closed before it escalates!! Joe |

I used to be strictly metric in the past but couldn't keep that up once I started actually doing things, so now I use both. Recently i've even started using fractional inches for some furniture since it leads to nicer looking numbers than the horrific decimal millimeters you often end up with. It reminds me alot of the athiesm thing where people without much contact with the real world can really get carried away. Here's a related youtube. |
