| | EducationGuardian.co.uk comment A new British system of units |
 | | Instead of the metre/kilogramme/second (MKS), I'm proposing for immediate adoption a new British, nay English, system of units called the inch/tonne/fortnight (ITF). |
 | | If you use the metre/kilogramme/second system of scientific measurement, then of course there is nothing left to name. |
 | | Yes, all the really useful units are already named, but only if we have to use this sissy French system for measuring everything. |
