Rifle Scopes Pros & Cons of Going totally metric

Re: Pros & Cons of Going totally metric

I work with tenths of a foot every day...does that make feet metric?

Angular measurements are not metric or imperial...they are all based off of how many sections a circle can be broken into.

A radian is no more metric than a radius. A radius can be givven in either feet or meters, but the term is not defined by any one system.

The only system that a radian can be catagorized to is mathmatics...it it a function of a circle, not a set measurement against a given standard.

And it still does not make a damn bit of difference in the real world.

Please read the part about "decimal multiples here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system , and after that if you feel that attaching a metric prefix has absolutely nothing to w/ it being part metric; so be it.
</div></div>

You should have read the article before linking to it. And possibly the main article for SI prefixes that is referenced by that article since, after all, SI prefixes are a completely separate entity from (though extensively utilized by) the metric system. To summarize: All kippers are fish, but not all fish are kippers. All cars use tires, but not all that use tires are cars.

You guys make this way too complicated. The OP is correct - a CM is a CM, no matter how far you are away from it. It is still a CM. It's just harder to see because it gets smaller as you get further away from it, no matter if you walk away in feet, yards, or meters.

I like its simplicity.

I like your selective use of transitive properties!

Carpenters and whores work in inches...

I can't believe this is up for discussion, again.
