DYJ Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 My first thought was: 'More of this nonsense? madmadmad', but then I saw the options and laughed a little. 'Both are bad', so true we should just stop measuring stuff completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iskierka Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 This is actually a fairly poor poll. 'Which do you think is better?' means so little; it\'d be more informative to ask 'What do you prefer?' and give six options; a given system only, will use either but prefer one, equal, or neither.

Eddy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Metric ofcourse, it\'s the most recognizable unit.I believe everyone uses it besides Americans and Brits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmiteZero Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I keep wanting to say 'feet' and 'nautical miles', but I\'m a flyer so it\'s ingrained. If you care enough about this to argue you probably need a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hojo_Norem Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Cars do X miles per gallon, and go X miles per hour and A is X miles from B... (I always cringe when I hear a british documentary say 'and the shuttles goes at XXXKM per second')Electrical cable is sold by the meter while I am about 6 foot high...Milk and beer is in pints but its petrol by the litre...but ultimately:Sphess Marins can move up to 4' per turn, boltguns have a max range of 24' (2nd ed rules of course), by PC still has a 3 1/2' floppy disk driveAND 1KB = 1024 bytes, 1MB = 1024KB, 1GB = 1024MB AND 1TB = 1024GB!Unrelated yes, but I felt that had to be said...

In Canada Cars do X KM/g, and go X KM/h and A is X KM from B. Electrical cable is sold by the metre while I am 5 feet high, acording to the last generation. Milk is sold by the litre and as for beer I have no clue. Floppy disk drives were never converted because they are never used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
