It's a weird world where kids are more scared of the metric system than they are of a credit card-sized Linux computer with its guts showing.

- squarefoot 8y agoIt probably is just a matter of being used to it. In the EU we are used to the metric system, but are ok with screen or hard disk sizes expressed in inches to the point if some brand advertising offered a 1.5 meter wide screen TV most of us would look for a calculator to make the conversion, including myself. If we changed to the metric system also for TV sizes, most people would find it uncomfortable at first, but probably would adapt in months.
