I grew up with American standard measurements. My Canadian wife grew up with Imperial measurements. She started reading this thread and now our household
is having a big time disagreement. Thanks y'all for making this Christmas the December to remember. |

I saw the humor in the OP's post and took it to be ... humor.

Esperanto is arguably easier to learn and speak than most other languages. It's been around for quite a while but we can all see how well it's caught on. If everyone was taught Esperanto exclusively, they'd all have to learn a second language anyway to understand anything written or recorded in any other language...almost none of which is written or recorded in Esperanto. There is a wealth of information that was recorded using imperial measurements...metric, too. It's so easy to use whichever system you grew up with, or learn both, or convert, which isn't rocket science. For a lot of applications, you don't have to do either. It seems every ruler I own has inches on one side and centimeters on the other. Duh. Every so often there is a movement to convert the whole imperial world to metric. It never happens. There just isn't a need, and there are practical drawbacks. And I can adjust the action on my guitars without knowing either system. |

Read through the entire thread, and the debate on imperial versus metric and thousandth's versus hundredth's and decimals versus fractions. Conclusion may be ignorance is bliss or as stated below.

Did you do this in your head and if so, how long did it take to figure it out?

I just want to know how the OP came up with the number "tenfold"? Why not ninefold? What measure are we using here? And how is it going to help me talk more "meaningfully" on a scale of 1-10? |

And don't you mean 1/16" rather than 2/32", after your admonition to reduce, earlier?

[QUOTE=Silly Moustache;5578036]I'm so old that I started off playing lute, and studied engineering in Imperial because we still had an Empire , but my guitar tech is a generation younger than me so he works in millipedes.
Millipedes, love it!

We measure in 64ths of an average size ladybug, over here, for small things, and in 10ths of a typical adult Praying Mantis for bigger objects.
