Where as there is 16 ounces in a pound and 14 pounds in a stone, so I can see why Americans would rather use that system, it makes so much more sense. Because 13 stone is obviously, 13x14x16 ounces, which is simple maths.
Same with inches, feet and yards: I know lets have 3 feet in a yard, 12 inches in a feet and then we can just divide inches in 1/2, 1/4s, 1/8ths, 1/16ths, hell even 1/32ths if we want. Because thats a really good idea.
yes, that makes perfect sense and the metric system surely is overly complicated
Same like the ****** french counting system. It still ***** me up everytime i go shopping. Hehe
I really don't understand why people want to bypass the filter when you don't even have to turn it on. Any way, starting now, such antics get you a minimum 7 day ban.
