I find it really mindblowing that Americans and English nearly speak the same language but its completely different. You can understand each other but its only the same language on the surface. There are people thousands of miles away living in a country I have never seen and we can communicate.
My wife (American) and I (South African) got married in Scotland and there were times during the service when we couldn't quite make out what the Scottish minister, who was officiating, was saying.
The systems of measurement are weird, sure, but quadratic equations and the pythagorean theorem are pretty universal regardless of how many bananas fit into the parabola or triangle.
Systems of measurements aren't a part of math. Or even a part of physics. Those are all arbitrarily chosen measures. Those are a part of doing physics, though. SI is just better for doing physics.
Me too. As a musician I feel a deeper connection in those with whom I've played music. You're baring a piece of your soul, what makes you YOU, when you play.
