Black Op Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Just a fun poll to see how many people here use US measurments in daily life (science class dosen't count, SI is always used) compared to those that use the metric system. I use the US measurments if you must know, hehehe...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tutankhamun Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 I use the US. Hehe, did you get this from the last post thread?http://www.google.com/help/calculator.html is a nice converter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufinwe Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 (Well, to me of course, the metric system is the best and the easiest. It is easier to convert kilometers into meters than converting miles into yards or feet or inches ! Same for quantities ... liters and cubic-meters are easier to compare than pints and fluid ounces ... and same again for weghts ... 1 kilogram = 1000 grams ... but 1 stone = ???? pounds = ???? onces I hope I convinced you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeOptimist Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 I know Metric is easier to divide/convert in your head, but I've grown up with the US units so that's what I use.(BTW Randy, there's a typo in 'metric' in your poll choices) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
