Built like a Mercedes 3685

crap. I do not know anyone that uses F ... everyone, and I mean everyone uses C. What the hell, why do the US use an old antiquated german system of temperature... Farenheit.... give me a break. 0 was as cold as he could get it and at the upper end he put 100 F when he in fact had a fever. SI, the greatest thing Napoleon ever did.

Crap again. if you are an old foggy I'm sure the store is not going to turn you away when you order in pounds .... hell, they still use pounds in germany.... Most reasonably well educated - even those that are not - typically use g-kg when ordering .... about the only place I still see lbs used mostly if not exclusively is when giving your weight and well, who'd want to use newtons anyway.

The label printed on what you get might call out

not in my world.... I drive 100kph and the speed limits are 100 kph and I know something 100 km away will take 1 hr. ..... so simple. I do not know of anyone in miles-hr or even when talking cars who is NOT using liters-100km it's just so much easier. I guess you are older.....

go figure..... that's because home depost is american. Rona is a different story, no problem with metric. However, considering Canada's economy is geared to the US's not much of a suprise to see imperial used

,

listen, metric and imperial are equally present. Personally I've got a fair set of tools and only my ratchet has 3-8" on it.... everything else is metric. I guess it is a fair statement that IF you want to close your eyes to metric you can still do it.... but not much longer. Kids have no idea of imperial anymore..... except, as I said, weight.

cheers
