We are incredibly ignorant whichever way you measure it
Article Abstract:
Measurement readings can be very complex, as metric and imperial measurements have gradually been absorbed into every day life, without people seriously thinking what the measurements actually represent. Many serious mistakes can be made when mixing up measurements, either in weights, building designs and costings. Children should be encouraged to fully understand all the different types of measurement and be able to make full use of them.
