im awstrayan mate!
dont care what a gallon is, all i know is that theres lots of em in different sizes!
if anyone posts the actual basic um...standards of the metric system, youll see they make as much sense as something like a "gill, hogshead or peck" the distance light travels in a vacuum in "0.768943523986453yrkjhewfkiuyerjkiu;awdse;vrpvn[0e v]vrf" of a second?
a kilogram is some other obscure type of equation.
or maybe its based on the 1/37494643097340927489026487098 of a second, the vibration frequency of a ceasium atom.
basically there are no numbers cus other than 0 or nothing, everything else is just a reference to something else. and even 0 is suspect because look at farenheit and celcius! and we are all just one consciusness thats a unity of itself so objectively theres no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and were all an imagination of ourselves....
the metric has issues with the base ten. what makes it so simple can sometimes make it really hard to work with in certain circumstances.
whereas you know 12 inches to a foot, 16s in an inch, etc. hard maths but easy...
but i digress. im australian, a metric country, yet i have no problem converting miles to km, inches to MM, pounds to the KG... i do get a bit stroppy over fluid measures. a floz? a whaaaaa?
and thread sizes? AAAAARRRRRGHHHGHGH!!!!!!! AMERICANS ARE CRAZY! EVERYTHING TECHNICAL IS DRAWN IN THOU! IT MAKES MY MILL CRASH WEHN I FORGET TO CHANGE BASE UNITS!
stuff ya gallons where the sun dont shine
imperial or american!
but stop griping aboutr one unit versus another and learn to use your brain a bit. its not HARD!
