So, who's uptight? :) To me it makes more sense to measure something in a real value - like the distance a team of oxen can go - than to measure in something meaningless - like what does a meter (or metre - not really standard.... ;) stand for, anyhow? What is it measuring? What can I relate it to? Meaningless. You want to divide some construction into 1/4's - and you can't, need to get decimals involved - 2.5 of something. A human brain can see 3/12's of something a lot better than 2.5/10th's of something. Either system is just arbitrary standards of measure. Nothing wrong with the metric system. For pencil pushing, it's a lot easier as I said. In the real world, that's another can of worms. One is easier math, the other is easier to visualize & use intuitively. No big deal. --->Paul
