Units

[imamartian]

What units do you use?

I use metric for measuring small things, miles for long distances, stones/pounds for weight, centrigrade for temperature. Litres for drinking water, pints for drinking beer.....

what about you?

mm/m for short(ish) distances, miles for longer distances, mL/L for liquids, °C or °K for temperature, kg or lb/st for weight.

Have I missed anything?

"you're" is the shortened version of "you are", not the possessive "your" that you intended...

Mistakes are human, harrassing people is just nobbish !!!
