hi,

are you also pc challenged?  if not, and if you have a spreadsheet
program, it's a trivial task to create and print out your own conversion
table.

Dear Matthew,

When was it that  Europe went to the metric road?  Wasn't it  a
century  ago?   Why do you need imperial measurement
system anyway?  Those damn Yanks still use imperial system
and I couldn't figure it out.  I usually count my fingers backward to
get an equivantent metric measurement.   Now I use a digital
micrometer to do trouble-free conversion and verification.  Maybe
you should chain a digital venier to your waist belt. It goes
wherever you go.

Sorry I can't help you with a little freeware conversion program,
but telling you you are not alone when it boils down to imperial to
metric conversion mess.   Hey, it has been my dream for last two
 decades to come out with a metric version of Imperial English
language.  How is it to have, to speak and to write Metric
English?   It will be a piece of cake for those people whose
mother tongues are not English.  We should make everything
simple,  For example you spelled the word "convertion" and I
spelled it "conversion"  What a confusion!!
Let's change it to "kon bel  gen".  A good metric word isn't it?

Fr. Dear Matthew

Hi there...
I know that this may sound a little basic, but does anyone have or
know of a website where I can obtain
a (freeware) little program that will convert thou to millimetres &
visa versa ?

For the past few years I have found it simple enough to pick up
the digital verniers and use them
but these days too many people keep borrowing them.

As my math was never too good I find it easier to pick them up
rather than a calculator.
