Matthew Zotter asked in USMA 23280:
2002 NOV 11 MON
I am new to this list. My goal is to convince the USA that SI is the way to be.
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.
FFU is a derogatory that is used on this list to describe
inch/pound units.
IFP stands for inch-foot-pound.
IFP stands for inch-foot-pound.
When the USA converts to SI, should we use Kelvin or Celsius?
For everyday use certainly Celsius.
Why is the phrase "metric" used more than "SI"?
The term "metric" is more known to the general public.
SI is the modern subset of metric units.
How do we convince the general public that converting to SI is "cool" or possible? For example, I don't see any political protests or rallies pushing for SI.
Members of Congress are representatives of their constituents,
that is they are expected to express the wishes of their
constituents. 0p .
What would the standard size of computer paper be?
Thank you for your time and thoughts,
Matthew Zotter
