Which means what? The metric system IS decimal while the current US system
of feet, inches, pounds and onces is not.
Farenheit is decimal. ;-)
And had multiple units of measurement for the same thing. Units which
are not simply related (as in length: there's feet, inches, yards,
rods, fathoms, angstroms, light years and more), so adding to the
difficulty of obtaining and using measurements.
Metric has ONE unit for each thing, and a set of related prefixes for
large or small multiples of any unit.
Light years don't exist?
WHAT?? The closest I said to that was that the light year is not a
metric unit.
You also implied that it was an English measurement.
I suppose you know a light year is NOT an amount of time.
Sure, I also know hat you're an idiot.
