Need to get drill bits for tapping

Do you mean "American measurements" like measuring things in "football fields" or "weighs as much as 3 jumbo jets, or 347139 cheese burgers" ?

In North America there are three system i) Metric ii) Imperial iii) USA. There can be a vast difference between American measurements and Imperial Measurements.

Well, I guess that makes some of us trilingual!

That would be cute.

When that same metric guy retired, I made him a metric clock kit as a gag gift. It was rated for clock builders 10 yrs of age or older. It had 10 decidays per day, 10 centidays per deciday, 10 millidays per centiday etc. Once assembled it actually worked.

Like:
i) Imperial gallon is about 4.5 litres while the US gallon is about 3.8 litres
ii) US ton is a short ton at 2000lbs vs imperial ton at 2240lbs
iii) MacS**t's quarter pounder is roughly 3.2 ounces vs 4 ounces
Growing up the local gas station had two pumps one for the US military measured in US gallons and one for regular customers measured in Imperial gallons. But then again it wasn't uncommon to see both Left and Right handed vehicles on the same road.

I think he meant stuff like US Gallons, Quarts, Ounces, etc. Even before we had metric, we had US and Imperial MPG.

My farm sprayer has Litres, US Gals, and Imp Gals on its three volume scales...... So stupid.
