Yeah....I was raised on the stupid US system and then found the love of =
metric in College Chemistry and Calculus.  So I'm a bit messed up :)

When will the US stop ruining the children and just give up?!  Metric is =
far easier to work with!!  I hate my US socket set...5/16 and then =
=BD....come on!!  11mm to 12mm....much more logical!!  Quarts, pints....two=
 different teaspoons!!!  What a waste!!

I know this teenager and I'm attempting to teach him a mixer board.....he =
has no concept of K...."12K is pretty high".  He can't get it....I write =
it as 12,000 and he understands.  Kilo is so easy....grgrgrrrr...stupid =
schools!!!

It's still hard to visualize the Kilometer.....the mile is hard to ditch.

What a mess of units you have! That's because the transition between the
metric system  and the english system, right?

Me:

My height       =3D> 1.80 m =3D 5.9 feet    =3D 70 inches =3D 1.96 yard
My weight       =3D> 70 Kg  =3D 2469 ounces =3D 154 pounds

:) Just for fun!
