  1. 1. Do you think the USA should go metric?



Recommended Posts

As a completely random side trip: When will Norway stop calling B (the note) H? H doesn't even make sense. The notes in A minor goes A-B-C-D-E-F-G, NOT A-H-C-D-E-F-G.

We've all got our problems, be it ridiculous musical scales or other scales. Granted, an H won't total a multi million dollar probe.

That's not just Norway, but all over europe (maybe even further). It becomes worse by Hâ™­ being called "B" for no reason except tradition whatsoever.

One could go further and doubt the entire system of 7/12 notes in an octave(=frequency doubling). There are some reasons for this specific choice, but that also applies to some more numbers. But any change to that will probably be met by public stoning or worse...
