<BR>I'm only sixteen but when I look at something I find it easier to
<BR>think...'oh, that's about 6 inches' than thinking 'oh, that's about 15
<BR>centimetres.…
<BR>Also, when i'm doing Home ceonomics at school and we do cooking, our teacher
<BR>has refused point blank to use matric so we learn everyhting in imperial.
<BR>To some extents I agree with her...I you're making a sponge cake it's easier
<BR>to remeber 4oz sugar, flour and fat and two eggs that whatever the equivilent
<BR>in grams and Kg is. Science is the only place I use Kg and g...and KM to
<BR>think about it. seriously, you can visualise a mile with ease...you know
<BR>exactly how long it would take to walk, drive cycle one mile. but who can do
<BR>the same with Kilomatres?
<BR>the only use i see for the Metric system is it make equations easier in
<BR>Science.
<BR>Overall i probably use a mixture of both Metric and imperial
<BR>wieghts/distances etc
<BR>hmmm...this was a kinda babble-y message...but I'm sure people can find
<BR>something to lead on from it...</FONT></HTML>
