Did that just about sum it up?

Nah, that failed.

In ordinary life we we still buy gasoline and milk by the gallon, meat by the pound, we measure distance in miles, length in yards, feet and inches, and stupidity in grahams. In science, out of the goodness of our hearts, we use the metric system just to keep goons like you from having to convert and make your inevitable mistakes. --- >hy you choose to be so backward never >fails to amaze me. --- Choosing to use a system we're comfortable with and which works for us isn't backward, it's just convenient. After all, we got to the moon and back, the first time with feet and inches. And you? Expanding on "backward", however, it's taken you lot some 350 years after we came up with the United States of America to finally admit that your system was fucked; the proof being in your recent adoption of a copycat version with the "United States of Europe", with the UK hedging its bets by not converting to the Euro. How's that for backward? --- >Any given wire gauge covers a wide range of >cross-sectional areas. At least you know what you're getting with mm2. --- No, dumbass, any given wire gauge is specified as having a fixed diameter and, therefore a fixed cross-sectional area. Whether there are several Metric sizes between AWG sizes is really immaterial in that probably 99.999% of all the applications requiring copper wire can be met using AWG.
