Are you still imperial?

[Zeeman]

Much to my eternal torment, I need to know both imperial and metric, as I work int he AV industry, and the US tends to be a leader in this field, thus... I have 6 inch drivers, 3/4 inch tweaters, and a 171mm cut out...

Though I have noticed many times that even imperial goes metric at times. For example, the body temp was.. what was it, 98.6 degrees f? Should that be 98 3/5 degrees f??? bwahahahhaha.. We will win, one day. Eventually. I hope...

Actually, the term would be "decimal", not nearly the same.

Works with 10's doesn't it? At least in some definitions it would seem to equate to decimal.

Of or pertaining to the metre as a standard of measurement; of or pertaining to the decimal system of measurement of which a metre is the unit; as, the metric system; a metric measurement.

You have to admit though, using 10 as the base simplifies things a lot!

By that definition, bowling is "metric". No sale.

Yep, like when I set my spark plug gap to .060 inch or shoot my .30-06. I have not seen those referred to as metric for good reason.

Sorry to disappoint you Don, but there are those of us in the rest of the world who gap our plugs using metric feelers (you know they even make feeler gauges with two sets - one at each end), and, believe it or not, some people do shoot things like 9mm Brownings.
