1 Year of Service
I was around back in the mid 70s when we were planning on transitioning to metric over a 10 year period. It was a great idea, but politics got in the way and the committee behind it got disbanded before it got fully implemented. It still pops up in congress on occasion, but never gets particularly far.I and a Yank and I spent my entire career in the sciences, generally Chemists used Celsius while Engineers used Fahrenheit and YES - upon rare occasions shit happened when someone got confused. In my career on
three occasions I saw experiments come to disastrous conclusions after someone did something as simple as heating to 300 C instead of F.
