Last week, I made an entry on Wikipedia, (which is an online public encyclopedia) where I listed the dimensions in metres.
A few days later someone edited the entry to add the corresponding measurements in IFP. Their comment was that Wikipedia was international in nature, and that since that includes Americans they were adding the IFP measurements. This led to a debate over the fact that the whole world uses metric, and the the biggest "excuse" that Americans have for not adopting metric was that they are not used to it. So adding the ifp only propagates the problem. In any case, I'd like to make my point by adding some other measuring unit used in the world (by some group, however small), using the same claim that since this is an international site used by **fill in the blank ** it would be appropriate to include their measurement units. Does anyone know if of a non-SI, non ifp, distance measurement unit used by some group in the world that I could use, just to get my point across? Stephen
