Grant you might want something a little more heat resistant than teflon
like nomex or asbestos. But for the most part your probably right we
tried to convert to metric years ago. I remember even seeing the speed
limit signs posted kph and mph. A rapid transition even when pushed by
the goverment was not the answer to standardization. Although I have
very few tools in my box these days that are inch measured I still have
a basic set and well at least my torque wrench reads both ft lbs and I
guess it newton meters ? I still use gallons to measure fluids and have
to figure out liters as being a little more than a quart lets see
25liters divided by 4 a little over 6 gallons probably about 6.4 I
figure. A mind is a terrible thing to waste but sometimes its almost an
impossible thing to change. My simple one just doesn't understand metric
very easily but growing up around american english measurements its easy
for me to comprehend things like I know if have to get off the freeeway
in a quarter of a mile I'd better get over to the right lane but how
many km's I wouldn't know and would probably drive by and have to make
another go around. Nope with my simple mind its probably best that I
keep my driving limited to the USA I would most likely be a hazard to
anyone overseas besides who knows what side of the road you should be on
anyway talk about standards ! Its not so much a matter of a simpler
system but more a matter of what your accustomed to using. I have been
slowly gaining more metric experence but its easier for me to think in
terms of english measurement where most of my experience has been.
