The english system makes my life far more difficult than it needs to be. I understand the initial cost involved in switching over the equipment, but in the long run it would save all engineers who currently work with this childish and archaic system a lot of time. At least I never have to deal with that cursed Rankine scale…
... the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.
Even England don’t use the English measurement system! Should that really be Imperial measurement system?
