Re: Dates? Don't talk to me about dates...
The most frustrating thing about the American's use of the imperial system is them not using all of it.
One of the important points of the imperial system is there a unit bigger or smaller that you can go to if the numbers start getting too big or small. Take length, you start at inches, then move on to feet, yards, chains and miles. With weight you have ounces, pounds, stone, hundred weight and tons.
So why do they insist on specifying the weight of a car or locomotive in pounds?!
