Measurement systems

Units bug me.  The whole world should operate within the same system of units, thus immediately eliminating any issues in mistaken units.  Airbus 380? not a problem, fuel amount? Great! Strangely the accidents I know of having to do with units are aviation related... not sure if that's because I'm a pilot and I just tend to learn these things, or they just largely happen in aviation due to the more commonly used imperial system in North America in combination with metric.

Work uses imperial.. and metric.  Tres confusing sometimes, til of course you realize whats going on, then it's "hmm.. ok?"  But it's not like one company can change the world by swapping entirely to metric. Sadly.

One day. 


The world will be.



Metric.
