Don’t use the c-word!
The Millimeter Mandate
A Modern Mobilization by Michael Marriott
Millimeters are the perfect measuring unit for man and machine. Our mission is to make millimeters mandatory. In education, in the minds of the masses and in the mainstream media. We believe that it is time to cancel the use of centimeters. They are capricious, casual and can cause confusion.
Join us in a meaningful mobilization. Be mindful, be meticulous: Measure in Millimeters.
The Millimeter Manifesto
A call from Michael Marriott to collective mobilization
Millimeters are the perfect unit of measurement for humans and machines. Our mission is to make the use of the millimeter prevail in education, in the collective mind and in the media. The time has come to abolish the use of the centimeter. The centimeter is imprecise, arbitrary and can lead to confusion. Join the mobilization! Be aware, be meticulous: Measure in millimeters.
毫米任
Michael Marriott
毫米为是人与机器完美的计量单位。在教育方面，在群众的心中，并在主流媒体。我们从今该取消使用厘米。厘米这单位是反复无常，太随意所引起混乱。加入我们的行动。牢记，细致点：测量单位为毫米。
‘Use Millimetres’ is a campaign for millimetres to replace centimetres as the universal, default unit of measurement. Centimetres should be stored away with decimetres. This would avoid all sorts of confusion & chaotics. Everybody would speak the same language, we would have less decimal points and more precision the world over.
Spread the love.
