What size TV/Computer Monitor do you have?

That's one thing I don't like about being in Japan, everything is metric. I always have to convert everything to make it easier to understand. I use Wii Fit? It only shows kilograms, time to bust out the calculator. What's the temperature? C? Fahrenheit is easier to understand. How far do I need to go? kilometers? Give me my miles! ;-p


Yeah, because having freezing at 0 and boiling at 100 is totally illogical.  If only they were at some random numbers instead.

On a more serious note, surely the US has already adopted some metric as it's currency is in demoniations of 100, so 100c = $1.  Rather than £1 = 12s and 12s = 12d as we had here in the U.K pre 1971.
