No FReekin DUH Windflier. We sure wouldn't want any university trained egggead engineers over here.
Somebody wanna remind me just what the hell a click is again?
Hey, Squantos, you EOD guys use that metric stuff dontcha? Are you guys "assuredly pompous libs?" Or do you just not talk about it? I'm sure our snipers and engineers use "meters" just to be cool among the left, eh?
I'm gonna go eat some metric bacon and eggs (64g each). Thanks. They're so much more tasty when measured in "lib" terms. Also, note, I only target shoot in meters, just to piss off, um, conservatives.
Sheesh.
Good post. That was even more sarcastic than mine.
I don’t actually have a problem with the metric system itself. It’s a better way to measure things.
What I have a problem with, is people who insist on communicating concepts of measure to large generic audiences of Americans using metric terms.
Most Americans don’t use the metric system, so don’t have a clear mental picture of the volumes being discussed when they’re expressed in metric terms.
I can totally understand professionals using metric terms to communicate concepts of measure amongst themselves. That makes sense.
What doesn’t make sense is using that terminology on a public who are only vaguely familiar with it. It just creates blanks in their comprehension.
