No you spell them the french way and to claim the french are right about anything is a crime against humanity.

Its more base 10. Arguably, the babylonian base 60 system would be more useful for measurement.

Using the same base for regular numbers and for measurements is the most useful, no? We happen to use base 10. That's going to be hard to change, but sure, it would have been better to choose a more divisable number, maybe 12.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
