If you’re a scientist or an engineer, then the metric system simplifies things considerably. If you’re not in a technical field, and just need measurements for everytday purposes, the metric system would still be fine, but the imperial system is not as hard or “illogical” as promoters of the metric system make it out to be.
Anyway, Sally, if America had gone over completely to the metric system (which is still not impossible), then the old 12 inch rulers would one day be valuable collectibles.
I know where my 2008 road atlas is, although I can’t recall when I last used it. Don’t know what happened to the paper maps I used to have of nearby towns.
Last time I used Google maps, I had some trouble persuading it that I wanted a driving route, not a walking one.
I don’t mind asking for directions if I need to, but I don’t like giving them. I’m never sure that I’m making myself clear, and don’t want to mislead people.
Things went very well indeed, sir. Perhaps next time the company could afford to buy me a ticket in coach. And pay for a room in a fleabag hotel instead of having me sleep on a park bench.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never listened to a full podcast. Not absolutely sure, but pretty sure.
If there’s a transcript, I might read it, but I don’t want to listen to someone droning.
