@jeff Temperature Is one area i really dont care what system you use. We dont really use metric prefixes for it so there isnt much to convert. All systems for temperature make just as much sense as the next really.

@freemo on the opposite end: a bus ticket costs 0.0017 grands, you're 0.035 millennia, and the rallye had 6 cohorts.

@freemo Do people show any reaction at all? I think this would be a very good way to gauge if people are good listeners at all..... :wink:Please, for the love of all things you hold dear, do NOT try this with your wife/husband/partner!

@freemo SI prefixes blow people's minds. I've tried using "megametre" instead of "1000 kilometres" and it always causes a stop-the-conversation-WTF-was-that moment with my interlocutors. :)
