Umm, I live in Sydney and it's not New Year's Eve.

 

Well, you must not live in the same Sydney as me, because it's definitely New Years since July 1st 2007 :P

You're the one using the metric system! :P

 

....Which is easier to use and more commonly used around the world. :P

But the metric system makes so much more sense...

 

Length: Compare...

 

10 millimeters = 1 centimeter

10 centimeters = 1 decimeter

10 decimeters = 1 meter

*skip a few*

1000 meters = 1 kilometer

 

to

 

16 semi-inches = 1 inch ( I think it's semi-inches...)

12 inches = 1 foot

3 feet = 1 yard

1760 yards = 1 mile

1 mile = 5280 feet

3 miles = 1 league

 

Weight: Compare...

 

1 gram = 1000 milligrams

*skips some*

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

*skips some more*

1000 kilograms = 1 metric tonne

 

to

 

16 ounces = 1 pound

14 pounds = 1 stone (not used in the USA often)

2000 pounds = 1 ton

 

And then there is measurements of volume... Which I won't list due to time...

I like the Metric system more, and I've grown up using both ( I've lived in both the USA and Australia), but I guess it depends on how you grow up...

The Metric system is a lot easier to remember though :P

The metric system is all based on one number. 10. The imperial system is crazy being based on a trillion different numbers. :P

I don't like the imperial system.

 

Isn't July the First the start of a financial year or something?

 

Kiotu: You live in Sydney?

Why did you bother highlighting this space? You have far too much time on your hands.

I'm being forced against my will to use the American System. Oh, and happy new year to you strange Australians.
