Yes, obviously. It's the words "international" and "standard" that make the difference. But these a quite essential details. And it would be quite poor if US universities taught anything else than SI units. Except aeronautics, that is. And that's another hard to deny detail: These weird anachronistic imperial units =are= some international standard in this area ... (only). And this will hardly change any time soon. Moving over is simply too dangerous. It's like convincing Britains to drive at the right side. (Well, we all know, that the left side is the right side, anyway. ;-) m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
