Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] conversion

["Herve" <caribsub@coqui.net>]

I live in the US for 6 years, and i still need tables to convert feet in
yards, cubic feet minutes and gallon per hour, as of temperatures fareinheit
is just a crazyness, not to mention the clicks, and pounds and other
medieval measures.
I really dont get it why everybody just rely on the metric system, so
simple, precise and easy to use without any conversions or tables
