Back in 2001 where I worked we were required to submit work to the state transportation department in metric. Somewhere along the line polititions and contractors squared off then back to the same confusing measurement system we went.
>...a unit invented for measuring lengths of cloth and based on the distance from some English King's nose to the tip of one of his fingers
It makes you wonder how they planned on preserving that unit of measure. I guess that explains why they invented the yard stick.
For those that don't know (including me - I had to look this up): A meter is defined as the distance travelled by light in free space in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second.
