Engert, if you change the "t" into a "d" in your username, you'll be called "Engerd", which is Dutch (and so, European) for "Freak".
Freak as in, being a scary person, though.
Also, the first problem is not a problem, I don't want to get a 2 Litre large Cola bucket from the McDonalds, while I clearly order a small one.
The second problem is no problem neither, Metres and Kilometres are easier to calculate and more accurate than Inches and Feet.
The third problem is new to me, I never knew we never talk about the future, but only about the past. Thanks for the information there.
