We're not doing it our way, we're doing it the old way. Everyone else went and
did it some other way. I think the metric system is a plot by the French to
take over the world (or maybe a backlash against anything English, as evidenced
by the recent attempt to set the Prime Meridian to run through Paris instead
of Greenwich).
Back on topic: I probably missed it, but how would standard, Earth units
(metric or American/British Standard) translate to the various stud units? A
direct to the proper post would suffice for me.
