Why isn't DIR universally metric?

[JeffG]

You might want to bother checking my profile for where I live... then google "Canada" and notice our standard of measurement. At least then you won't look silly when you post, but that's your call.

Don't worry. KevDumbo always looks silly when he posts.

Yes?.

As the person who started this thread, since it's now deteriorated to ad hominem name-calling without adding much in the way of useful info, can we agree to end it?

Thanks,

Why ruin a perfectly good thread?

Stupid metric Nazis.

There. Done. Consider the thread closed.

Hitler used the metric system.

Ok that did make me laugh.

And for those of us who did grow up with metric, we read these posts and see things like FSW and lbs and psi and cant make head or tail of it! One day our colonial cousins will agree that metric is simpler, better and it's time to change, we (the Brits) did back in the 1960s, it was worth it. (just my half-penny's worth )

Imperialists? Heh.

I didn't read the whole thread (skipped some pages after the Nixon anecdote came up, but I from what I did read, I saw no one advocating the imperial system.

This is how I remember the thread...

You: Metric is easier because the math is simpler

Me: The mathematical process is the same

You: Here are some observations about my gas consumption rate and the cylinders I use which simplify my computations using metric units

Me: Here are some observations about my gas consumption rate and the cylinders I use which simplify my computations using imperial units

You: Metric is easier, and even though you understand something "harder," the metric system is above your head

Me: LOL

You: My opinions are more substantial that yours. All you post is rhetoric, you group-thinking koolaid drinker

Me: double LOL

Argue for your limitations, and sure enough: They're all yours. . .

Laugh away homey . . .(where you & your ignorance is bliss, 'tis utter folly to be wise)
