... just say no to metric.
Oh Glob, Karl.
Please tell me you're joking.
I so wish America would go metric.
It's much more simple and logical; it saves time and is far less prone to error.
I always use metric on home and work projects where I don't have to involve another friggin American.
Metric makes Americans flip out.
Why should ounce be a unit of BOTH weight and volume?
Metric has dedicated units, gram for weight, and liter for volume.
For distance one reference, meter, is used for all distance units, from the shortest unit to the longest.
No multiplying by 12 or 36, or 5280, etc.
Even the Celsius scale is simpler; it's based on the temp water freezes and the temp it boils, 0 to 100 degrees C.
Then all those asinine fraction units!
Which of the following two questions is more simple?
1. Which is larger, 14, 15, or 16 mm?
2. Which is larger 5/8", 11/16", or 3/4"?
Jimmy Carter tried, but Americans were too farging stupid/lazy to switch to the much-simpler metric system.
