'approximately' ???
I guess it is 'approximate', since that's backwards ;-) The definition of an 'inch' is now precisely 25.4mm. We changed, they didn't. Although the difference is so tiny it's hardly measurable outside a laboratory.
Length is easy, it's the force and pressure stuff that drives me nuts. French engineer: 'it'll be fine, the force on it is only 5 Newtons'. Me: 'what's a Newton'? French engineer: 'It's 1/10th of a kilogram'.
Hmmm ... why 1/10th? Where does that come from? It's not ... It's 1/9.8 Kg ... the 9.8 being the acceleration of gravity in Meters/sec^2, vs 32.2 feet. So they've got a Newton for force, and a kilogram for mass. And we've got the pound for ... weight? ... umm, no ... well, yeah, it's the force applied by the acceleration of gravity acting on a mass of a ... 'slug'. Which is ??? 32.2 lbs? Or 1/32.2 lbs? Huh?
I submit this for a future society rebuilding after the apocalypse: Make your length standard based off the average acceleration of gravity*. That should make all this stuff the same, I think.
* Sure, it varies around the globe, but only physicists would need to worry about that. Any engineering of buildings and bridges should be close enough to ignore.
