little or no exposure to the metric system (should
that be capitalized?), as hard as that might be to imagine, or
someone from a traditionally metric system-using country (which
these days is almost everyplace *except* the USA) who'd had little
or no exposure to the system of units we use (I think

America: imperial measurements suck.Long live the metric
system!

The metric system is a great system for scientists - it makes lots
of the equations much simpler by making the conversion constants in
various equations equal 1. Imperial is a useful system for everyday
people, full of specialised measures that are scaled to human
needs, like the amount of fluid a
Dont you hate it when someone gives a temperature in celsius, a distance in meters, or a similar foreign measurement and you dont know what theyre talking about?
on topic: the metric language is the language of sciencethe metric
system is much, much better than out system of
measurements]everything in the metric system is expressed in
'powers of ten'there are ten centimeters in a decameter, ten
decameters in a meter, one thousand (10x10x10) meters in a

scrap our
system, and go to metric, I wish they did, but due to american
arrogance, and laziness, the idea diddnt materialize. I dont know
how old I was then, but I can just barely remember the adults
arguing about it, so I was about 7 or 8, I would guess.I think the
metric system is better,
With the evil, dastardly Democrats holding a 60 seat majority, what villainous plans might they possibly enact?
I don't see why there's such an adversion to the metric system.
Everything is in multiples of ten, not 12, 5280, 16, and so on.
It's much easier to be precise in metric too. I really don't care
if the people in general use the English system, but NASA and the
military should adopt it.

This is the ratio
between a pound force - the standard unit of force in the imperial
system - and a newton, the standard unit in the metric system.
Are they trying to make us dumber?
is
being measured (distance, volume, et cetera), you have to specify
which system is being used. They could have said 'Imperial
feet and inches", but no American likes to think of it that way.To
further complicate things, "metric" simply means
"measurement". They are ALL metric systems.
