It's on the first few pages of every dictionary for the respective languages.
(And while you're at it, go metric! )

Australia, New Zealand and many other Commonwealth countries did it in the 1970/80s.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
Easier said than done. Do you know how many of our tools, infrastructure and buildings aren't metric? Good luck getting construction firms and laborers to voluntarily relearn their shit, too. lol

Everything here comes in metric also. For instance a box of cereal will have the metric and U.S. weights on them. Schools teach both. Medicine comes only in metric. etc. People just prefer to use the old system in day to day things.globefish23 wrote:

Only Liberia, Burma and the USA are the odd ones out.
That's great, but I have no control over what measurement system US citizens use, nor if they even know the location of the state they live in or what a "Commonwealth" is. And I'd probably lose customers if I went 100% metric on my proposals.globefish23 wrote:

There's still a bunch of good games on that list. I'm not retracting that. Pirating also encourages DRM. I'm not retracting that either. To me, it's just not worth going through Ubisoft's nonsense anymore, and I'm not going to justify their policies by deigning to pirate their software. Even if the game is good, there are plenty of others out there.Mutantbear wrote:

THQ just became my Ubisoft. Bought UFC 3 this weekend. They took out some of the most popular fighters and are selling them as DLC. Also there are about 20 or so challenge mode fights. 15 of them are locked and can only be unlocked by buying the challenge mode DLC. You can buy a season pass that will only give you a discount on future DLC. You can buy a stat booster for your created character for the game's career mode. But you only get to use the $2.99 stat booster on one character. If you don't buy the DLC your created character will have terrible stats throughout the game.
Not going to miss them once they go out of business.
