Thanks. I just assumed you used metric because the math is easier.

I did, was just messing with you...;)..
In reality, everything in engineering is easier in metric since most constants were ratified after the adoption of the SI system. US military is pretty much strictly metric for obvious reasons.
To think money wasn't decimal based at one point...:confused::confused:

New York is aggressive, but at least they are skillfull. In RI we get a lot of numb-headed, feckless drivers, entirely inconsiderate of traffic flow, or lacking understanding of why there is a thing called "procedure", that, if you practice, helps assure that miscommunications, etc ("accidents") don't happen.

Sick of it. I used to enjoy driving.

+1 for using "feckless".

Of course it's a real word. I'm the grammar police and you will respect my authority!

Technically it's a word. But it should not be. It's an Abomination, right up there with the sorry excuse for a soldier by that name that the Incredible Hulk fought, driving his honey's father to even heavier drinking.

Using a REAL dictionary (Merriam-Webster), we see:
Irregardless was popularized in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its increasingly widespread spoken use called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

Nahhhh... when we're going "at it", I hope it comes across as playful and lighthearted. Much respect to all that post here in the Thunderbird Club. A smart, talented and diverse bunch with many common interests outside of our favorite bass! :)
