Good catch on the 'sewn' X, but then you went wrong on << That really is quite the complement. >> In that instance, you meant compliment. Complement is a different word with a different meaning. The accursed english language strikes again.
Metrication of units of measure was a wonderful thing for me, having done engineering where all the units are used and pounds, ounces, tons, inches, feet, yards, miles, poundals etc were a blight on my life, especially when combined with pounds, shillings, pence, seven figure log tables and slide rules, with pencil and paper as the calculating medium and the only computer power being my brain. Fortran IV came in at the tail end of my academic engineering education but the computers were hopeless monstrosities.
Please be nice in the Rambi zone. Rambi was a wonderful host and "language" is not a thing to be used here. Even if somebody else does so, one should not lower oneself. Or twoself in my cases.
