Subject: Why doesn't America use the metric system?
Schackleford    12/22/2005 11:06:47 AM
I know I must be sounding like some arrogant euro-trash for even bringing this up, but here it comes: Why doesn't America use SI-standard metric system? Maybe it's just me :I have never been able to learn/remember how far you have to walk to walk a "mile", I have no idea how deep you must dig to get six "feet" under... and what is an "inch" anyway? But using a common and logic-based system seems to be a better solution then what you have today.

eastern language systems boost memory and musical abilities
 
regardless, choosing inefficient systems to improve abilities is a losing proposition in the long term
 
the resources spent could be better used to actively improve memory/musical abilities/IQ
