Even if we gave them the decimetre, the FFU-ists would still claim it is too
small compared to the foot and too big compared to the inch. Let's ignore
those who would fool us with such nonsense or else we will start to believe
it is true ourselves. We need to convince the masses that once learned, SI
is better.
Why does everything need a different name anyway? There is only one unit of length, the meter.
What is wrong with:
15.833 m
7.35 m
158.875 m
If under a certain amount, call it mm. The second figure could as easily be 7350 mm.
Just change the NUMBER already. Leave the (one) name alone.
