Miscellaneous Musing (MM) 1
Imperial measure. Annoying.
A. The most annoying bit is the measurement in miles. You look at the map/signpost and see it’s 5 miles to your destination. You think, “I can do that. It’s okay from Waldara Drive to Wang central. Piece of piss”. THEN you realise that it’s 5 MILES. 8 kilometers. “That’s just OUTSIDE my endurance capacity”.
B. The next annoying bit about imperial is feet. Road signs and map distances are measured in feet. Even Google Maps tells you that there is an impending turn critical to you getting to where you want to go in 1000 FEET. How far is THAT???? I’d better go really slow (annoying the driver behind) to make sure I don’t miss it. Annoying.
