[USMA:31857] RE: More anti-metric trash

[David King]

The degree signs in the original posts came through okay in my email, 
maybe it got converted to something else on its way to you Bill? Your 
headers suggest you use MS Outlook, which maybe what converted it. Or 
some setting to do with character sets.

If you want to use the degree sign (�), it's Alt+0176. A zero isn't a
workable substitute.

For all I care they can change next week
to Reaumur (as on
the Continent) but my body knows when it has a
temperature of 900 and
needs a couple of aspirins, while 370C means
nothing.
     

Someone should tell this author that if his body
has a temperature of 900 (Fahrenheit implied) that it
needs more than aspirins.  Someone should
tell him that 900F is way below normal.
But, he did get the Celsius temperature correct.
