Hi everybody. I would like to make some
comments about using millimeters verses centimeters. I agree that each industry
should use what is best for them. I think sometimes we who really like the
metric system can get hung up on some things that really don't matter all that
much. I am pointing 10 fingers at myself and nobody else. I think we
should try and keep the metric system simple. If I want to know the size
of a room I want to know how many meters it is not centimeters. We should
try and make the metric system as easy as possible for the average person
whether he or she be an American, Canadian, or Brit, sceen these are the 3
countrys that are still in the change. I can't remember if I have said
this on this site or not. I get anoied with the anti metric people who say
that people over the age of 50 can't understand the metric system. I would
like to say that the people of the U S Canada and the U K are as smart as the
people of any other nation that has gone metric. I am 54 years old and
until I was in my 20's i knew nothing of the metric system. Thank you
everybody.
