NASA may or may not have gone to the moon with traditional units of measure — I wouldn’t know — but it’s for sure that they lost the Mars Climate Orbiter because two different teams were using different units of measure without realizing it.
The point of metric units is simple calculation and conversion.
There’s nothing special about an inch, and to ell with the horsepower, stone and furlong.

This is what comes of corrupting the youth with unmanly diatonic modes. You can’t just Phrygian like that, it’s luxurious and the calcium goes right out of your bones.

Really? Doesn’t look like they emphasised it as much as people do now. Perhaps saner times (at least in that regard).

Ah, that explains it! And all this time I thought it was just increasing age. How was I to know that writing Phrygian pieces would weaken my bones?
(Hmm… Luxurious, you say… If it’s luxurious enough, maybe the osteoporosis is a small price to pay…)
