Answers to Other Questions

We’re too modest to keep repeating what makes us such a good choice for restoration projects. We’ve therefore searched for answers to other pressing questions.

Why doesn’t the United States use the Metric System?

Along with Liberia and Myanmar, the United States has resisted implementing the metric system, a measuring system based on units of 10. Our system doesn’t make mathematical sense, but we’re used to it, and learning a new system is difficult. At SERVPRO of Murrieta, we’re not too proud to admit that we have to use conversion calculators every time someone uses “liters”, “grams”, or “kilometers”.

The historical and profound reason we haven’t converted to the metric system is “we’ve never used it.” Converting to the metric system would require that factories, traffic engineers, cooks, and others re-design tools and machinery.

“We’ve never used it” is the adult version of “I’ve never eaten it” for children who refuse to try anything new, except on a larger scale.  

Can SERVPRO of Murrieta Provide an Example of How the Metric System Works?

We sure can! Keep in mind, we all still use miles instead of kilometers, but we also have trouble explaining the U.S. units to children.

We don’t know whether the origin of the unit is true, but we like it, so here it is: a mile comes from the Latin mille passus: a thousand paces. The paces were counted by how many times a Roman soldier’s left foot hit the ground.

A mile is a unit of length or distance. It equals:

1,760 yards, or

5,280 feet

Ancient Roman miles, and earlier British, Irish, Italian, Scandinavian, and Chinese miles are different from the U.S. mile. Making things more confusing, a nautical mile in the U.S. isn’t the same as a land mile.

Yikes.

A kilometer is the metric system unit of length or distance. It is approximately .62 of a mile. It equals:

A thousand meters, which is nifty because supposedly a mile is a thousand paces, but then maybe not nifty enough as the unit “foot” is not the same as a “pace”.

Back to the Point

If disaster strikes, call us at 951-894-4392. We have 24/7 emergency service, even on weekends and holidays.

Don’t worry; there won’t be any tests on the metric system.
