>Table wouldn't work. You don't have the imperial:metric case, where one would simply apply a factor (or divisor, in the other direction) and get a number. In several cases you get two numbers on the imperial side - six stone four pounds, five feet two inches, six inch and 3/8 (which they write with a minus sign between but it's not really a subtraction, it's addition). Only Celsius (of whom they never heard, they think the guy's name was Centigrade) vs Fahrenheit is simple.

And then, imagine, Fahrenheit was a german. The guy who disliked to do negative numbers so he chooses the coldest thing he could imagine "for practical reasons" and the body temperature of a healty human person. Complete fail. PalmFace. Doing maths in factors of 10 might not be great wisdom - but better then that anyway. To keep this must be something religious.
