Ya that damn metric system all confusing with it all based on multiples of 10. God love the easy Imperial system. It makes so much sense. 12 inches in a foot. 3 feet in a yard. 1760 yardsd in a mile. Now how is that not sooooo much better. Oh and we can't forget temperature in Farenheit. 32 degrees for water freezing and 212 degrees for water boiling is so much easier to remember and makes so much more sense than the 0 degree frezzing point and 100 degree boiling point that the celsius system uses. Us Canadians and the rest of the world are just so damn stupid for switching to such a ridiculous system.

Having went to both US schools and Canadian schools growing up I can honestly say I think you are wrong on this. Metric system is 1000x easier, my friend. I learned imperial first too
I still don't understand imperial capacity measurements what the hell is a gill, anyways?

The important thing is to remember that an acre (43560 sq ft) is ten square chains and that a chain is four rods, not "a bit less area that 209ft x 209ft" like they teach in lame real estate exam prep classes! That's rectangular area that is one chain wide and one furlong long. Got that? Anybody who ever ploughed a field behind a draught animal knows that, so what's your problem?
Am I right, or what?
