As far as I am concerned the SI (Systeme

the end- The only advantage to the metric system is
the
fact that it is decimal and that is marginal when you
have a ridiculous pressure unit Pascal ( one Newton
per square meter) and you need almost a mega to pump
up
a tire and a Newton which is about equivalent to the
force of an apple (Kg/9.8). We went to the moon and
back on feet and inches, and crashed on Mars when they
tried to mix them - Vance

Why don't they just say Newton per square meter like we
say pounds per square inch. What shall we call one pound per square
inch? How about a Fred or a George? :-)
