I am used to the old American style of measurments.I can easily enough
picture in my mind how long an inch,foot,mile is.I can fairly easily
picture how large a square inch,square foot,square mile is.I couldn't
care less than less about metrics,kilometers,stuff like that.When I did
my boot camp at Fort Gordon,Georgia (Company D 5 2) in November and
December of 1962,one of our classes there was guessing how many feet
from point A to point B is.I was off by quite a few feet on that.I know
about how much longer a kilometer is than a mile,1.40,I think a
kilometer is.But still,I have no interest at all in learning metrics.To
me,it is sort of like if you come to America,speak English language,I am
NOT! going to learn your foreign language!
