Still, they claim to be a corporation representing intentional interests, but chose a mile instead of kilometer. We are one of the few counties not on the metric system. Seems to me they are "yes men" to the rich Americans rather than being true to science.
But then I hated that in the semiconductor industry. I could not break people from calling a 150mm wafer, a 6" wafer, 200 mm 8", and 300 mm 12". Wafers were originally US standard, until they were 3" or maybe 3.5". Then they went metric.
We Americans are so stupid as a whole compared to other countries.
It's not too much of a big deal, so long as you get the conversions right. That appears to be Terryj's weak point.
