Metric IS our official system of measure, if it hasn't happened yet, it probably will when we start using the Euro currency.

Never going to happen in my lifetime. Not saying that we won't know both (I do), but our measurements are always going to be powers of 2 instead of metric's powers of 10.
Also, [ QUOTE ] it probably will when we start using the Euro currency. [/ QUOTE ] a) when is this going to happen and b) why would it have anything to do w/ how we measure? |
