Where Are You?

I prefer metric over imperial except when it comes to temperature. Not that I don't like degrees celsius, its just that I *know* what 100 degrees F feels like, and thinking that room temperature is somewhere around 25 degrees C is just odd. However, there is no comparison when it comes to science -- SI all the way!

I'm at 51°27'32.54"N 2°36'16.48"W.

Put that in google earth and you can zoom in on the exact locatation of the computer I'm sat typing at.

For the less specific answer, check under my name (<--)

OK, I'm too lazy to read all the posts. My $.02: metric is a superior system and should be used in the US as it fits with a number of decimal based systems such as our monetary system. It has been more of a complaint by manufacturers as to the cost of retooling, people having to learn something new, etc. All of you scientific measurements with the exception of a few, such as meteoological measurements in the states are based upon the international language of metrics. Globalization - a phrase I'm beginning to despise- will probably force the few of us left with the imperial/sae measurements into mm or a dual system for now in order to accomodate manufacturing, consumers, etc.

Oh yeah the point of this thread; I'm from Fishkill (Hudson Valley) of New York State, USA. And I agree with Melvin, perhaps, if we can keep it mind, to try to use both measurements in our threads. (of course that won't stop me from forgetting!)

I'm pretty shure the US has officially converted 4 times already...
