Both the metre and the kilogram are base units in the SI system. Neither are defined in terms of the density of water. The density of water is NOT defined to be 1 under any circimstances.
Length (l) Unit: metre (m) One metre is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 second. This standard was adopted in 1983 when the speed of light in vacuum was defined to be precisely 299,792,458 m/s.
Too many of our friends across the pond are using the term "Could Care Less" when they really mean
"Couldn't Care Less". Giet it right! It's our language, give it some respect!

All the rest is garbage too.
Amen brother!
Wgu don't you just try Python. Everybody thinks this for at least eerrr... 5 minutes, then there is that moment of epiphany!

I think we should be told.
OK, so I can't type! Sorry, but there is a point there somewhere!
Let's get on thing straight shall we.
