| Kilometers are based on the measurement of 10,000 kilometers from the
north/south pole to the equator. Newton(?), et. al. were off a bit on the
measurement. Using meters you end up some 13 kilometers short. Using whole
miles (the ancient measurement and there are many) you end up short about
a quarter of a mile. What is impressive to me is how acurate these ancient
measurements were. Nautical miles are very close to 1 minute of one degree
and are accurate down to a couple of feet or under a meter. Seems the Brit
had it basically right, though borrowed a bit from other older
measurements before adopting the meter.
For smaller, shorter distances I do prefer metric over imperial or US but
interchange as needed. Now, hectares? That measurement I find hard to
translate. ;-)

As if Kilometers are really 1 million meters from the pole(s) to the
equator? You come up short by something close to 13k. Miles your only off
by a quarter.

inches?

Hey that happened to mom too but she was stealing apples. I think my
granddad actually spanked her after that too... Now a days someone would
be trying to sue someone else.
I have been thinking about building a mote, that could be fun for all
sorts of reasons. Darn thing would have to be a third of a mile to go down
one property line though. Though if I built one that long that was 6 feet
deep and 10 feet wide I would have about 100k cubic feet of dirt to make a
sledding hill for the winter or as a base to build a nice tower like
Merlin had.  Then I get to do the other side of the property and build
another hill. Of course it took me a couple of days just to dig my sump
drain line trench and that was only 300 feet x 6 inches wide by 18 inches
deep.

In the south we say something like
"Hey you kids.... Get those Quads off my land! Don't make me put out my
AK47, oh wait, those are baned, I mean my .30-06!"

What sucks is that lack of writing skill is quickly rolling over into
every day writing such as blogs (which, IMO, should be a step above an
email in quality), online news articles, and printed writing now.
I get dinged at work fairly regularly because I am willing to write up a
long descriptive email of a solution to a problem but won't write up a
"knowledge base" article for it in Word. It isn't because I don't want to,
actually I wouldn't mind if that was my entire job, it is because when I
write something up that I consider formal (such as a Word document) or
long lived versus an email, I will strive to at least understand why Word
is underlining things and make sure that case, tense, voice, party, flow,
etc etc ad nauseum are correct. I hate reading something that was written
for a formal or semi-formal forum and the writing is poor and I hate to
have people look at me the way they do when they encounter that quality of
writing. You just look like an uneducated bumpkin.That means anything I
write in Word for the KB system (or anything else really) will likely take
10-20 times longer than an informal email where I just tossed stuff out
there.
