[USMA:23282] Re: A few questions to all

[kilopascal]

2002-11-11   I came up with the term FFU.  I used Google to search FFU and only after putting FRED in the search engine, did I come up with this editorial:   http://www.aerobusiness.com.br/editorial_old.asp?controle=39   Na verdade os pr�prios norte americanos brincam com isso e muitos deles referem-se ao seu sistema de medidas como FFU (Fred Flisntone Units). Mas essa �brincadeira� est� custando caro, e o pre�o aumenta a cada ano.   I wonder how my term got all the way down to Brasil.   It is in Portuguese, so maybe Marcus can translate it for us.   John ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew Zotter To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Monday, 2002-11-11 20:34 Subject: [USMA:23280] A few questions to all 2002 NOV 11 MON   There are a few abbreviations in some of your letters that do not know.  What is "FFU" or "IFP"?  A web search yields too many results.
