It is easier than motes per cubic barleycorn.When I was in college, a very old professor expressed the opinion that English units were better in the machine shop. One hundredth of an inch (.010) is a good unit for non-precision work and readable on a scale. One thousandth of an inch is good for precision work. One centimeter is too big for non-precision work. One millimeter (.04") is a bit big for non-precision machine work. One tenth of a millimeter is too small for non-precision but too big for precision. Anyway, I'm convinced that the metric system is a Commie plot just like fluoride in water. It's no coincidence that when they add fluoride to water, they measure it in mg/liter.
I'm not aware of any evidence that the unit of measure used during the respective construction process of the two was ever suspected as the cause of the failures.
Um..........my post was also a joke. Thought that would be obvious. ..........obviously the unit of measure has nothing to do with it one way or the other..............wooooshThat loud Woosh! You heard was an engineers joke going right over your head.
A litre of water weighs a kilo, that used to be the definition of a litre, so a dilution of milligrams into litres is much easier to calculate.It's no coincidence that when they add fluoride to water, they measure it in mg/liter.
I went to tech school with a guy who believed the metric system was a commie plot to weaken America.When I was in college, a very old professor expressed the opinion that English units were better in the machine shop.

Funny you should say that, I was taught ultrasonics by C.J. Abrahams pioneer of many ultrasonic inspection and sizing techniques. His preferred unit of measure was obtained from a cats penis. Using his sizing technique would always get you within a cats cock hair of the correct result.In his early career my Father was a surveyor and when I was a boy in the summer very often I went with him to the building site to earn some pocket money. My duty was to keep vertical and steady the stadia rod.

When we had to plant the pickets He had his own particular unit that involved "hair". When the movement of the picket had to be an extremely tiny one the hair was specified as belonging to a particular area of the female human body.
In 1861 Commie Agents armed with #1, The Metric System and #2 about 2,000 tons of CaF2 infiltrated the US. Traveling first to Colorado Springs where they located the towns aquifer. Digging down several hundred feet they buried about 500 tons of the CaF2 into the aquifer. Next they traveled to Oakley, Idaho locating a warm spring about 5 miles from the town the once again contaminated the spring with CaF2. Lastly and most insidious they traveled to Bauxite, Arkansas where ALCOA was building a company town to mine and process bauxite to produce Aluminium metal. Once again the heinous Communists contaminated the nearby aquifer with CaF2. Unfortunately for the Commie Plotters the Civil war was ending and they could no longer do their dastardly deeds unnoticed.metric system is a Commie plot just like fluoride in water.

Of course the commie agents first took over the schools of Marx and Engels.It's amazing that these commie agents were able to infiltrate anything in 1861, what with the secesh and copperheads taking up so much space.

While PASSUS can be translated as STEP in this context it is more correct to use the term PACE. Much as in the modern military a PACE is every time your left foot hits the ground as in: RIGHT - LEFT....RIGHT - LEFTtherefore double compared to the modern meaning.
