ENG General Discussion in English
Forum for discussion of general topics in English. Welcome!
I've found the most Useless Discussion ever: what system do you prefer? The inferiour imperial system, like the countries who use them or the superiour metric system, so the measurements do make sense?
Go.

The Imperial system is dead, it's only the Americans who refuse to actually bury it six feet under.

I'm a (math) teacher, and explaining the metric system to the kids is a tough thing to do. But teaching them the imperial system is an absolute nightmare, I guess.

If we start using imperial here, we might end up crashing another Mars drone due to "an unfortunate miscalculation"

Well i guess it's a hard change for them just like the patat vs friet discussion, we all know it is friet but still people say it's not. So just let them mind their own bussiness and everything will be alright
Wel je voeten vegen he ?
The worst part is, all Americans know imperial is an old fashioned system, but they just refuse to adapt metric because they are the greatest nation under God
Wie dit leest is gek
Here we call patatoes kartof and fries kartofki. So it is patat.
I think patat / friet is a better discussion than metric or imperial because only retards prefer imperial.

It's really quite simple:

They use the metric system in science for obvious reasons.

However, on September 23, 1999, communication with the spacecraft was lost as the spacecraft went into orbital insertion, due to ground-based computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-seconds (lbf s) instead of the metric units of newton-seconds (N s) specified in the contract between NASA and Lockheed. The spacecraft encountered Mars on a trajectory that brought it too close to the planet, causing it to pass through the upper atmosphere and disintegrate.
In the construction industry in the Netherland, and worldwide, we still use English standard measurements. They are converted to the metric system.
Odd...doesn't that make things messy?quote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 16:19 schreef Joezi het volgende:

Yeah kinda strange if you look at this:quote:

Most former English colonies dont use the imperial system anymore
As long as it's restricted to just inches (which are fairly easy to convert from top of ones head anyway), I'd say it's doablequote:
Also (tv)screen measurements are always in inches

Rims are also in inches.quote:
