By no means are you being an asshole but I do understand the implications of what you re saying I just don t agree since every measurement is given on first use So I d expect an Australian to understand one of my articles on a pre metrification Australian ship just fine Your argument and that of the MOS itself has a great deal more merit when no conversions are given so that people can t grasp the scale of things properly Since my articles can be fully understood by people on both sides of the Imperial metric scales I view it more as a matter of taste And quite honestly since I have a large number of FA A and GA class articles under my belt most reviewers seem to agree as no one s ever challenged me on this particular point before
