Haha couldn't help myself.. Being Canadian and used to m/s and km it's not a biggy for me.. but our merican friends must think measurements are confusing with m meaning meters not miles....
We need a metric faction, to counter the Imperial

Nah, we use "m" for meters, and "mi" for miles - helps to keep things civilized

Hey, I thought "m" was million!
So i am guessing we will need to replace o with ou as well ehY?
So we can all take off to the the Great White North ?

Metric master race agrees!
Quick lesson in the metric system.
micro___=0.000001
milli___ =0.001
centi___ =0.01
deci___=0.1
___ = 1
deca___=10
hecto___=100
kilo___ = 1,000
Mega___ =1,000,000
Giga___ =1,000,000,000
and replace ___ with desired base measurement. Meters for length, litres for volume, grams for mass, Newtons for force, Pascals for pressure. It can get smaller and larger too.

Quick lesson in imperial.
foot=12 inches
yard=3 feet
mile=1760 yards
and that's it. can't be used for much

I prefer metric, you?

Don't forget:
Fathom = 6 feet
Cable = 200 Yards
League = 3 miles
Nautical Mile = 6,076 feet
metric eagle fitted with metric hammers.
now what do we use for the 3/4 and 3/8 drives

Don't forget furlongs, rods and chains.
"A furlong is a measure of distance in imperial units equal to one-eighth of a mile, equivalent to 660 feet, 220 yards, 40 rods, or 10 chains. Using the international definition of the inch as exactly 25.4 millimetres, one furlong is 201.168 metres."
I had a physics master at school who was always lecturing us about using units in our work, and being consistent, regardless of unit. My mates and I submitted one week's worth of homework with all speed measurements converted to furlongs/fortnight. That showed 'em.
Cheers,
Drew.
