Re: NEC-LIST: Imperial and metric units and the like

8 furlongs to the mile.. approximately 1600 meters to the mile, hence
approximately 200 meters/furlong (see, the furlong really is a metric unit,
or, atleast the "ha'furlong"!.. or is that 1 furlong = 2 hm)

fortnight = approx 1.2 million seconds..

All those spurious digits of accuracy are troubling...
