        If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        • That is, that "we" Canadians use! NOT "us" Canadians........

          The way you can check, is take out the word "Canadian" and see if it sounds fine then.

          You would not say "us use the metric system" you would say "we use the metric system".

          All in fun though, as I really dont care, lol.

            • The metric system is much better IMO. 1,2,3,4,5,etc.

              SAE= 1/8th,1/4,1/2,9/32's, etc....everybody knows from school that fractions suk

              • But sticking up for Americans, How we all would normally call a drag strip "1/4 mile" what would it be if it was metric :shock: wouldnt have the same ring to it :lol:

                    It's 400 meters. 0 to 400 meters sounds okay.

                      I'll be honest here. Using measurements in construction and carpentry, I consider SAE the way to go, down to the 64th if necessary. For instance, say you're dividing measurements. It's far easier when half of 3/8 is 3/16, and quarter of it is 3/32. Now, metric. Half of 7mm is 3.5mm, and quarter is 1.75mm. I'm sure most disagree with me here, but I'm sticking with my preference here. btw, I'm handy at math, so that may be another factor. :p
