Indeed, BUT the confusion between *Metric, decimal and decimale* need be
understood. To me, METRIC is: what is related to Metre - the length unit?

Re:
People:
Firts of all I would like to say I am sorry for starting any up roar that has displaced the normall activities among this group. To the group I do apologise and say thanks for the patience.
As for any confusion I my have caused with BriJ Bhshan Vij about metric being a lenth unit Again I must apologise.
Weights and measures both have been represented to me threwout my life as metric.
Tha following is a look at what I think to be correct usage of the metric system. I sure hope that it is at least in the ball park of what I should know about metric stuff.
I look forward to any corrections or insight that can be offered.
Units of lenth:
1 kilometer = 1,000 meters, 1 meter = 1,000 millimeters, 1 meter = 100 centimeters
Units of Volume:
1 kilometer = 1,000liters, 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters, 1 liter = 100 centiliters, 1 centiliter = 10 milliliters
Units of Mass ( weight):
1 kilogram = 1,000 grams, 1 gram = 1,000 millograms, 1 gram = 100 centigrams, 1centigram = 10 milligrams.
Now I must confess that I do think a little bit in the gray about decimal things that are not addressed in the above units. This is pretty mutch why I like groups like this one in hopes of fine tuning the gray ares of thinking.
Thanks again
Tim Moylan
