Sounds
like Euric nicking names again.
BTW
- I'm a size 7 shoe (7 and a half to be exact) - this is based on imperial
measures.
Tell
me about 12" records........
The
answer:
This is emphatically NOT
Euric nicking names again. But he and I fight on the same side, that is clear.
I am a user of the metric system, living in a metric nation, The
Netherlands.
BTW, The Netherlands was the
first nation in the world to go metric in 1820. Under Napoleon France had
reverted to old measuring units; she went metric by law of 1837 July
4.
12 inch records are almost
extinct, anyway. Long live the 12 cm CD and DVD
disks.
And for someone else on this
board: it is NOT 12c/m CD and DVD
disks.

You have corrupted my
message as well with incorrect gobbledygook. Which standard prescribes that
the symbol for metre is -/m?
The correct symbol is
m
How many tons do you use? I
think that one is enough, and for me that is the metric ton.

Napoleon was OPPOSED to the
metric system and he almost destroyed it. He should be your great hero! At
least it appears that the metric system has nothing to do whatsoever with
this
tyrant.
Not only do you deliberately
make metric much more complicated as it actually is, you are even doing it to
your own measuring units.

What does aM

Wat is csp?

What does 3200 eM
mean?

Still you get no even number
of YARDS, as posted in my question.
6. Divide the short ton,
troy ton, winchester ton, long
ton, merc. ton, &
merc. last by three.
