I don't think that's why people advocate the metric system. I think it's more because unit conversions don't involve stupid fucking conversion factors. Everything converts nicely, by 10s.

Exactly. Imperial system is stupid, though I know a lot of Brits still use 'Stone' to measure weight, which is even more archaic.

The mainstream use in the U.S. is this: when it precedes a number, it is read as "number," as in "a #2 pencil" (spoken as "a number two pencil"); when it follows a number, it is read as "pounds", as in "5# of sugar" (spoken as "five pounds of sugar"). The first form is more common; the second is becoming archaic.

as you said the point of being able to do everything in 10s is so you don't have to use math. I can only suppose that is because can just count on your fingers.

No, it's to make it simpler. Universal factor of 10 is easier to remember. Even though conversions in imperial system aren't high level math, it makes sense to keep things as simple as possible, whenever possible. There is such a thing as needless complexity.

Oh shove it. You want to tell me converting 343.917 feet to miles (OH WAIT, gotta multiply the .917 by 12 to make inches!) is easier than 343.917 meters to km? Done: 0.343917

I bet you still used your fingers to do that.

£ = British Sterling Pounds
# = American Pound (weight measurement).

Interesting, I though lb was the pound symbol?

that's what YOU get for trying to think....

How can I make this clear..... I don't use a pound. I don't use pounds for money. I don't use pounds for weight measurement (I know time zones are confusing for you, but it's the 21st century here). I don't have a pound. The only pounding I do is your mum on a Friday night, but I share her with 25+ other guys so it's not really fair to call it my pound. That's communal pounding.

just a little advice...when absofuckinglutely no one else understands you, it's not them with the problem.

We call it pound or number sign, and that's fine. Calling it "hash" is in no way superior or intuitive, so I see no reason for it to change here. Thank you very much, and have a nice day

Wrong, calling it hash makes you a retard because no one will know wtf you're talking about.

Just stop calling the # symbol "pound" for fucks sake. Why would you call it that? Moron.

hash include "moron.h"

int main()

moron OP;
OP.create_post(postcount++);
OP.spout_shit(knows nothing);
OP.gets_flamed(idiot);
return 0;

}

pounds of hash? what?

 

[lifeobry]

I've never in my life heard "#" referred to as "hash". I've only heard it referred to is "pound". So "pound" it is
