The one thing I've never understood is tire sizes, where you have the tire's width measured in millimeters, but the wheel's diameter measured in inches.
SHOZ said:I like the metric system. But temperature scales is another story. Farenheit rules king there.
What is so special about Fahrenheit scale?
More graduations. The Celsius scale is too grainy.
Have you heard of a decimal point? You can use .5 if you really want to, but I'm not really sure it's needed in daily life. Can your body really tell a difference between 80 and 81 degrees F, for example?

How did you calculate this?
(212-32)/(100-0)= 1.8
That's pretty close to 2.5
