Beyond science, it is, to me, simply the application of commmon sense to US measurement---use math, not witchcraft!
My blueberries are packaged in "US Dry Pints", which are translated to be 551 ml. Why not just call it 500 ml of strawberries? I can understand that infinitely more than I can understand a dry pint, which, IMHO would NEVER be understood beyond the ken of a few American blueberry growers! > > From: "Michael-O" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2003/08/11 Mon PM 12:55:56 EDT > To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [USMA:26555] What is for you metrication? > > Hi, > > I am wondering what you people think of the best metrication process. > > How elaborated should it be? > Is metrication the pure measuring or a way of life? > > This idea came to me as Bill (?) said, that metric (int'l) roadsigns aren't > a part of SI/metrication. > > Here is my point of view: > > It is not the pure scientific thing it is the ease of use, the freedom to > measure. > But for me metrication goes further.
