Yes I understand completely. When I was doing my civil engineering degree in the mid -70's Canada was just going metric so we had to learn everything in Imperial, Metric and US. Plus getting incredible adept at using a slide rule which to be honest were remarkable tools once you mastered them. But I still have nightmares about doing say a highway ramp using Fortran with a thousand punch cards and if even just one had been punched wrong when after an hour you got the awful news that you had to then go through and try and figure out which one it was. Put me off computers for years after I graduated but by then it was basically punch in the numbers into a program rather than actually having to create the programHERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Fri Aug 15, 2025 11:21 amGOLD..................infuriatingly true, but Gold
My apprenticeship meant learning to measure in Thou, and zero-points of a mm, and to know the instant quantity of either when compared to either in a measurement value................
Now, after years in the oilfield, I have feet & inches(joint length) Barrels(Bbls) (which is 159L) for fluid volume, meters &mm for diameter not related to drilling hardware inches for drillpipe designation, PSI in downhole & air pressure, GPM (gallons per minute) for fluid flow rate, CFM for compressed air capacity & delivery from an Aerial Booster , Pounds Per Foot (PPF fluid weight/viscosity in a column, AND weight measure of steel pipe in an imperial dimension like 9 5/8th called Casing) and Im living in a metric country
Some years ago I had to hand carry some A4 paper...........copy paper, up to Oklahoma, as they were submitting a tender for a massive offshore rig build into Egypt, and the tender specifically demanded that the submission of hard copy documents be on A4 paper.
They were buggered. No A4 up there, none at all! Even copier paper is a different size FFS
