Hard to argue with that much illogic! Working with decimals is ten times

When our company bought a machine that was all metric, I though it would be
a PITA. A few months after working with it on a regular basis, I think we
should have changed to metric 100 years ago. I can also think in terms of
bars for pressure too, not to mention grams per liter for density. I even
buy my soda by the liter.


Hi,
Kids in school, hospitals, military all uses metric now.
