| Jun 22, 2010 at 14:56 | comment | added | Brian Knoblauch | I'd love to do the metric switchover here in the states. I've already done it at home. I use metric tools, metric measuring devices, etc. I'm getting real good at conversions since they're required whenever I talk to anybody... :-) I'm still annoyed that the world hasn't dumped our horrible system of time (especially time zones) and gone to an absolute decimal time system. | |

| Jun 21, 2010 at 17:57 | comment | added | trolle3000 | @Brian Knoblauch, maybe we could finally get you guys in the US to embrace the metric system? It'll save a lot of FLOP's not to convert back and forth from [obscure unit] to [rational unit] all the time ;-) | |

| Jun 17, 2010 at 15:46 | comment | added | squircle | @warren Yes, there's that, but there are quite a few other differences between Canadian and British English: see this table. | |
| Jun 17, 2010 at 15:42 | comment | added | warren | My understanding on Canadian-vs-British keyboard/spelling/etc was that Canada uses dollars, whereas the UK uses pounds. | |

| Jun 17, 2010 at 15:19 | comment | added | squircle | @Brian It has to do with pronunciation I guess. I'm just used to using Canadian English spelling. And did you just spell Canadian with an e? Are you French? ;) | |
| Jun 17, 2010 at 15:14 | comment | added | Brian Knoblauch | Maybe we could get you guys (and the UK) to drop those extra "u"s now in the name of saving the environment... Less toner used when printing! :-) Interesting problem, I always thought Canadien and British used identical spelling AND symbology. | |
