#metric

@sheepnik@toot.wales @WiteWulf@cyberplace.social YANA. Without shedloads of context, *nobody* knows how big a fluid ounce is. Imperial? Or Apothecaries? If Apothecaries, which of London or Dublin? If London, before or after 1836? If Dublin, before or after 1850? Then, if that was not enough, you have the nightmare of the old reference books that round the conversion factors between these different #floz to the nearest whole number of minims — which, correctly, they aren't. #metric

Americans will use anything but the #metric system

Since we here in the USA don’t know the #metric system, we need to learn more units for this weekend

I am envious of people in other countries that use the #metric system. Here in the USA, we still use measurements of bananas, washing machines, religious chicken sauce packets, elephants, and so called "football" stadiums. Consider yourself lucky that measurements can easily be quantized in units of ten for scientific and engineering scales and people know what the hell you are talking about.

Now that I'm using Si units instead of imperial units, I wanted to do the right thing for non-whole numbers, especially for distance in kilometers. I am guessing decimals are used to be more multi language-friendly, but wanted to confirm fractions are an imperial unit convention. #SiUnits #Metric
