[USMA:29542] Han's posting to metricsucks corrupted

[Mighty Chimp]

Below is a posting Han made.  Below that is a response from Baycolony.  Note how this Baycolony changed and corrupted the contents of Han's posting before responding.  Not only does this guy make metric look complicated, he does the same thing to FFU.  Euric   METRICSUCKS.COM Message Board Re: 1/4&1/2&1 stat.fur. race & 1/4&1/2&1 stat.ml.

(SteveH)   We hardly ever use this 1/3 m stuff. Can you divide a pound avoirdupois by 3? or an Imperial gallon divided by three to get an even number of cubic inches? However, dividing 231, the number of cubic inches in a US gallon, by 3 yields 77. A third of a mile on the other hand never yields an even number of yards. Try dividing the British long ton of 2240 lb by three to get an even number of lb. The metric system is simply not built on the principle of division. Period. It is decimal. Period. So this argument that one cannot divide a metre by three is irrelevant. Period. Euric is dead right and he KNOWS the metric system. > Still don't believe me do you? > This shows the predicted lack of knowledge > you have in metric, eric.

Can you divide 1 av.lb. by 3? Or divide 1 imp.gal. by 3? However, dividing 231.000, the number of cu.�� in 1 wine gal., by 3 yields 77.000 cu.�� However 1 stt.ml. cannot be divided by 3. You can�t divide the short ton, troy ton, Winchester ton, long ton, merc. ton, or merc. last, by 3 to get an even (even???odd???) number of av.lb. The N.E.R.E. project is simply not built on the principle of division, my monthly. It is decimal, my monthly. So this argument that one cannot divide 1 -/m by 3 is irrelevant, my monthly. Euric is dead and he knows the N.E.R.E. project.�� Hann, not only is Euric dead, but so is Napoleon. 1. Divide 1 av.lb. by three. 1 av.lb. -:- 3 = 64 av.csp. = 128 av.scr. = 2560 aM 2. Divide 1 imp.gal. (Yr.1826) by three. 1 imp.gal. -:-3 = 80 et.csp. = 160 et.scr. = 3200 eM 3. Divide the 231.000 cu.�� of 1 wine gal. (Yr.1706) by three. 231.000 cu.�� -:- 3 = 77.000 cu.�� 4. Divide the 230.400 cu.�� of 1 fl.gal. by three. 230.400 cu.�� -:- 3 = 76.800 cu.�� 5. Divide 1 stt.ml. by three. 1 stt.ml. -:-3 = 1760� 6. Divide the short ton, troy ton, winchester ton, long ton, merc. ton, & merc. last by three. 2000 av.lb. -:- 3 = 666 av.lb. 128 av.csp. 2016 av.lb. -:- 3 = 672 av.lb. 2048 av.lb. -:- 3 = 682 av.lb. 128 av.csp. 2240 av.lb. -:- 3 = 746 av.lb. 128 av.csp. 2304 av.lb. -:- 3 = 768 av.lb. 4608 av.lb. -:- 3 = 1536 av.lb.
