I do remember NASA losing a Mars probe because someone didn't read measurements as metric. |

I don't measure my house in pounds! WTF
but ya.. it's weird.
We learned metric for distances, but I gotta buy my hardware in feet/inches.
But I'm glad I don't buy 304.8cm tubes of PVC, or 121.92cm x 243.84cm plywood boards. |
