[QUOTE]Originally posted by Topher: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [qb]Unlike physicists, there are quite a few engineers in the US who still use the so-called English system of units (e.g. pound, inch, mile, etc.). I think it's partially because engineers often have to work with machinists, many of whom have only a high-school diploma and never learned the metric system (because our school system simply can't teach science). The system of units we use in America is utter crap and should have been replaced by the metric system decades ago. I certainly hope that by the 22nd century the metric system will have been universally adopted. [/qb][/QUOTE]And its because of the US still using that backwards system that I (an engineer in training in Canada) have to learn the system as well. :o [/QB][/QUOTE]
