          Aren't you in England? Where Imperial units come from? And don't you still use pints there? I use pints when I am there.

          For some reason, we still measure milk and draft beer in pints. Bottled beer is now metric. We also still use miles instead of kilometres. I don't know why we only partially went metric, probably to appease the traditionalists.

              Handy, but not as handy as metric.

                Oh man, you Americans. Go metric! We did, and we've never looked back!! Cups and pints suck.

                I agree. In school, we were taught primarily metric, as it would be the primary measurement system by when we got out of high school. Somehow that changeover didn't happen, and I"m left wondering how many teaspoons are in a gallon.

                Although I agree metric is better, at least our measurements are absolute and don't change based on deterioration of molecules. Don't know what I'm talking about?

                The metric standard of mass is based on "a cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy" which has lost weight since it was first created.

                So despite the obvious and inherent superiority of the metric system... currently... ITS WRONG!!! HA HA HA

                  They could always make a new one. A gram's 1 cc of water.

                    It's not that the UK measure that is wrong, it is just not a consistent one. Who says weights can't change over time?

                      At a specific temperature.

                        Jesus did, Pslam 153:49 "One gram shall be one gram, no more, and no less, as it'll help me determine the amount of wine needed for everyone, one gram shall not change with age and shall be consistent"

                          Scientists use the metric system, probably because the math is so much easier.
