[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aaron the Overlord: [QB] Well I use a bit of of both systems (me being a brit). I always thought that the inches, miles, pounds, etc. were imperial measurements. Here is how I would measure things If I am doing something scientific I will measure in cm's, weigh in kg's and do capacities in cm^3. If I measure someones height I will do it in m's and cm's. If I measure long distances I will do them in miles and speed in mph and acceleratin in mph/h. Small distances I will measure in inches. Liquid capacity I will use litres I weigh things in Stones, pounds, and ounces. I measure temperature in degrees Clecius (Don't ask me how to convert to Farenheit or Kelvin) [/QB][/QUOTE]
