@sansalamancasergio youtube was invented in America by an American, just like a "mayority" of other great multibillion dollar coorporations. Sorry it doesn't support a mayority" of other measurement systems. By the way, if it was all in metric, then we would be conformists like a "mayority" of the rest of the world.

@wangbungal every tape measure I have ever used has had MM on one side and inches/feet on the other.
wangbungal (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
@aussieNickuss since when you see a tape measure mark in millimeters?

I don't know how you americans work with imperial units! Having to calculate fractions mentally would do my head in big time. Millimeters are so much easier to work with.
