Back when I was taking physics, we had to do stuff in both metric and
English units. With English units, we always had to multiply or divide by
32. With metric, stuff just worked. So, I turned in some homework with
velocities in furlongs per fortnight and accelerations in furlongs per
fortnight squared.
