So, who's uptight? :) To me it makes more sense to measure
something in a real value - like the distance a
team of oxen can go - than to measure in
something meaningless - like what does a
meter (or metre - not really standard.... ;) stand
for, anyhow? What is it measuring? What can I
relate it to? Meaningless. You want to divide some construction into
1/4's - and you can't, need to get decimals
involved - 2.5 of something. A human brain
can see 3/12's of something a lot better than
2.5/10th's of something. Either system is just arbitrary standards of
measure. Nothing wrong with the metric
system. For pencil pushing, it's a lot easier as
I said. In the real world, that's another can of
worms. One is easier math, the other is
easier to visualize & use intuitively. No big deal. --->Paul
