Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Well, there's your problem. That the base units don't fit into each other neatly.

They do until someone decides to mix systems. Feet and miles are two different base units. Like I tried to express, it's like saying metric is stupid if I decide to define kilometers in feet. Its the same thing, but older when you try define miles and acres in feet. Stick to 640 fractional.

You are arguing an indefensible point of view

You are arguing a base ignorance of history.
