"GAYATRI LOK" Flat # 3013/3rd Floor NH-58, Kankhal Bypass, Dev-Bhoomi, HARIDWAR-249408 (Uttrakhand - INDIA) From: [email protected] Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2012 19:20:57 -0400 Subject: [USMA:51746] crazy Olde English measurements To: [email protected] I recently spotted a couple example of how Ye Olde English measures does more to confuse than it does to inform. One example is a pair of signs on Interstate 95 near the Jacksonville fFlorida airport. The two adjacent signs state: East Beltway 850 feet, and West Beltway 1/4 mile OK, which exit comes first? Quickly, all you have to do is calculate how many feet in a quarter mile or what fraction of a mile is 850 feet, while driving at the speed limit of 120 km/h (OK, that's 75 mph) in traffic. Good luck taking the correct exit! The second example is a sign in a bus to warn people not to bump their heads. The sign displays: Clearance10' 3" ft. No misunderstanding there; you are certain that it is meaningless. I don't even know how I would read that.
