Traditional units reflect reality-metrication is useful in some things not others. The 1.6 km club is not as exciting as the mile high club. A 6 footer doesn't have the same ring as 1.whatsit cmer. Anyway metrication was introduced to piss of the British-same as right hand of the road driving. Pure reasoning shows the derivation of left hand side driving is based on rational thinking. Napolean wasn't that keen on anything that could be British. How all those scientists of yesteryear managed without metrication is a miracle. They even built great ships without computers-oh wow. Nowadays anything is convertible-press button a or b or c. Looking forward to your 343ml coke can are you? The best was Cadbury-once British-advertising slogan-every bar contains a glass and a half of milk-when taken over by tossers-every bar contains the equivalent off 227ml(or whatever shit the dumbasses could think of). Catchy. Even the British trading standards looked at them as if they were insane.
I smell the scent of a woman..."charm"?. An embarrassment to any user. PC's are not toys-they are not oversized versions of tablets and people are more productive with keyboards and mice than playing find the missing spot games. How can Microsoft be so out of touch with actual pc usage as to produce this ivory tower version of nonsense. It's supposed to be their business. Well no change for us or our company happening here.
