Business uses it where it makes sense, and sticks to English where that makes sense. Our country was all surveyed using systems based on Feet, Rods, Chains, acres, sections, etc., but academia likes to do research in this country base on Metric land measurements... That never made sense to me. Forestry in this country is all about acres and board feet, but the professor wannabes all measure in hectares and metric tons. Most of the forestry students I see nowadays come from the cities and aren't concerned about production. Most of them don't even carry a pocketknife. We're going all handbasket and H E double toothpicks.David aka True Blue Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221281748612938132noreply@blogger.com
