I hate slugs! (1 Viewer)

The lb / (in/S^2) kind. How much more confusing can the English system of engineering units be???

Try explaining to someone that the standard unit of mass in this country is a slug. Good times follow.


Ugh.

from a pilot's standpoint it's never used, must be an engineering thing. We use pounds, feet, knots, standard stuff until you leave the US.

Ah, the slug. Pounds without the acceleration.

I'll stick with kilograms, and let the Imperial people slug it out amongst themselves.

Metric is a good thing! Now, excuse me, as I have a show to watch at 9.25 o'clock
