A kilogram is not a weight, Bob. Never has been; never will be. I'm not one to be anal-retentive. This point is more important than anything like that.
I like your quote. That was a wise person.

You don't weigh anything in kilograms. :) -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Bob Bridges Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2020 12:16 PM Interesting; centigrade is the one system I use nowadays without having to think much about it. It's so easy: 0s are cold, 10s are cool, 20s are warm, 30s are hot. I get kilometers but I think in miles. For short measurements I like centimeters and millimeters, but I couldn't tell you how tall I am in cm. I'm happy in either pounds or kilos, but I'd have to calculate to tell you how many kg I weigh. But centigrade makes complete sense to me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Confidentiality notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
