Is this a typo? >> >> Carl It is a cheap Office Depot brand calculator with a printed conversion table on the inside of its cover. It has a number of oddities. Here is a sample of what it has: Metric GB & US 25.3995 millmetres [sic] 1 inch 4.8297 kilometres 1 league 1 acre 0.0247 acres 1 hectare 2.471 acres 1 centigram 0.1543 grains 1 litre 1.75 pints (2.101 us pints) etc. I think I will write a letter and mention the problem with are/acre, the old definition of the inch (and misspelling of millimeter), and the oddity of leagues, centigrams, and grains.
