Subject: RE: Team 3- Teammates wantedwith the huge proportion of canadians on our team compared to others, I propose the metric system. Not only are we honouring the US-Germany agreement to convert languages and measurement styles, there are other reasons:
The pool has three different lengths, two of which are in meters
Cycling is based more on the 'Old world', which uses the metric system.
Running I don't care - a lot of people use miles
And another reason... our name is french, or Québequois (sp? )... and the french invented the meter (one ten millionth of a quarter circumference of the earth ) |
