Quote:Metric isn't as poetic, either. Could you imagine The Who singing "I can see for kilometers and kilometers, I can see for Kilometers and kilometers"?Around here we call 'em 'clicks'. :) Not as poetic? Phhhh. 'meter' just rolls right of the tongue, and then you have the harsh sounding 'foot'.
btw, how many feet are in a mile?? I'm just curious.
