Metric vs. other measurement systems - chart

[mklotz]

I agree wholeheartedly Marv, so what would it take to introduce the metric system, or does politics prevent any hope of that? I would like to think that common sense would prevail....

I won't comment on the political angle. Politics and religion usually lead to off-topic, generally vituperative, flame wars that have no place on engineering fora.

I will say this... If the general public here was forced to use metric, they would have two measurement systems they did not understand.
