Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.
America doesn't like change, if you haven't noticed. Most areas of the country vote Republican. The 2008 election was an exception.
Luddites are funny folks.
I hate customary units. Inches are only useful for the thickness of a nice, juicy, succulent, tasty steak.
I actually only use inches to measure height. I haven't completely gotten the feel for centimetres. I blame all that time I spent in America and the Philippines.
Anyhow, metric is by far way easier. Although I don't like not having an intermediate between cm and m.
There are decimetres (10 cm = 1 dm) but what kind of arse would want to use those everyday? No one does. I'm pretty fine with that though.
The point is, no matter how easy a measurement system may be, America isn't going to change it's measuring ways. We are a stubborn folk, but it keeps us unique in some ways.

Well if you live in Canada (well at-least me) you have to learn all of those.

Well is that unique always good? lol anyways that's not the point. It is true that Americans will always be the most stubborn and stereotypical people ever. Don't we just love them?
Also. Fahrenheit sucks. Like really. Celsius is a lot better and more practical. 0 should always be the freezing point.

It depends on which stereotypes you're referring to. There are so many different kinds of stereotypical Americans that some will die out while others remain the same for all eternity.

Celsius isn't any better than Fahrenheit, but Fahrenheit isn't any better than Celsius. They're both equally terrible. Fahrenheit is more exact in its use of whole numbers, but it has obscure boiling and freezing points. Celsius has easy freezing/boiling points, but it relies a lot more on decimals. Both use negatives in their measurements, which is why neither of them should be used by anybody who has any respect for logic.
Kelvin is the only accurate measurement. Zero is zero and there is nothing below it.

Well, you can always think of an other system and call it the Ernie15
Kelvin is the only accurate measurement. Zero is zero and there is nothing below it.
Actually the Kelvin is extremely terrible for casual usage. Normal people won't use the first 243.15 of the Kelvin at all. So its 243.15 of waste.
