Huh?
Cliff,
How is the inch standard safer?
BTW...the medical and scientific communities have been using metric for decades.
And....numbers do lie! I can generate a poll and if I word the question or questions correctly it will allow me a lot of latitude in the conclusion.
I want to see the poll......the records......and I want to know who did the poll or study and what their pre-event opinion was.

So much to learn, so little time.....
You want to know what messed is? Try the tire industry... 3 forms of measure in one tire size.
205/55R16
205 = 205mm wide... Metric
55 = sidewall profile is 55% of the width which = 112.75mm... percentage calculation
16 = 16 inch rim... Imperial
Same with a rim... The diameter and width are written as imperial but the offset is written as metric
Go figure

Every time you make a typo, the errorists win
I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore
Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Every silver lining has a cloud around it
My opinion is that I would go to metric or would like to go to metric because it is easier figureing measures on a base of 10 instead of 12.
Just my opinion and has nothing to do with America not being what it used to etc.
