As such, I must now walk exactly one Lyle, arbitrarily defined as the distance from my desk to the crapper.

Joking aside that 'fine with the mixed system attitude" does have it's drawbacks aside from Boeing and the dangers of refueling just ask NASA about one of it's missions to Mars. The Euro space agancy used SI measurements NASA used 'whatever' result was a bit of a mess i'm afraid [img]tongue.gif[/img]
The sooner we all 'speak the same' the better IMO even though it's quaint to use such measurements as troy's and fluid ounces
