"BTW, the helmet The Stig wears isn't road legal."
"Why?"
At a guess his blacked visor?
"Because we say... "February 5th" so logically the easiest way to write this is 02/05 so you can just read from left to right.
For example you could use a system where $599.99 is represented as 99.599$... but that'd be backwards because we read the dollars before the cents."
huh? 5th of Feb sounds much the same as Feb 5th I don't get that, you can't use Dollars and Cents as an example any more than you can use Sterling becuase if you do then the date would read using your own example 06/02/05 and thats wierd. I go with backwards, more examples some English geezer thought it would be a good idea if his cart and oxen when going along a road stay on the same side in any given direction and other Englishmen thought hey this guy makes sence what do they do in North America use a mirror affect. Then you canibalize the lingo and try to make the world adopt it as English everytime I install something with English (United States) I give a groan Billy boy there ain't no such thing imagine espa?ol (Chile) the Spanish would be up in arms.. I am not even going to go into Baseball other than some other English game chopped up for Americian audiances. Worst offence you want to chop up a slick TV show watched bu 350million worldwide just for America I can't wait for it to be produced so I and download it be most funny but alas for all the wrong reasons.
why not use Metric, I am from Britian where imperial weights and measures came from but I have no clue as how they work, how many yards in a mile, how many fluid Oz to the gallon?, how many oz to the stone I have no clue Metric is just so much simpler.
