2001-02-18 The Italian news printed a correction to their Fahrenheit error, but still did not use degrees Celsius. Yet, subsequent articles seem to be sticking with metric, albeit slang metric at times. I find it interesting how the Italian & Spanish versions use both chili/kilos and "kg" in the same article. I will continue to post articles from this news service where metric units are used. John Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrtümlich glaubt frei zu sein. There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they are free! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Italy-news" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "To Italy-news readers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, 2001-02-18 17:40 Subject: Italy-news February 18-01 > ITALY-NEWS NEWSLETTER 18 FEBBRAIO 2001 > http://www.italy-news.net > ======================================================================== > > L'AGENZIA TURISTICA " KOKI VIAGGI "in collaborazione con Italy-news > organizza per voi un favoloso Tour riservato ai nostri lettori in alcune > città più caratteristiche del Bel Paese: Milano, Firenze, Venezia, > Torino e altre ancora.
