[ARC5] Meter. Feet, Pounde etc.,,

[Ian Wilson]

Having been born in the UK to Imperial units, then "decimalized" in the
70's,
coming to the US was, er, interesting. Not only flung back to early base
12/20
arithmetic but have to cope with things like a pint being a different
measure!

I can understand people using a 'pound' to mean different weights, but when
you are talking about the standard unit of beer, now, that's something
else..

I am however grateful for having chosen a field where I have never been
required
to work in British Thermal Units.
