Pope: I have a Measurement Measurement I need help with.

Chancellor: Excuse me? That really doesn't mean anything.

Pope: Wong-o! I mean I have an SI Measurement I need help with.

Chancellor: Oh... So... That’s not really better. Like meters? Inches? Pounds? Grams? …Joules???

Pope: No, it's a mix of all of them. Plus some others. An SI-crap Measurement, as I said, expressed as a single unit.

Chancellor: Um... It might likely overlap in certain places... You cannot just mix standards without generating garbage. It's likely impossible to determine where one begins and another ends with any reliability. That’s definitely not an “SI Measurement,” were there such a thing to begin with.

Pope: NO! You mealy-mouthed pedantic "twat" x 2;!!! That's not right!!! You have destroyed technological discourse!!!! HOW DARE YOU?!?!?!

Chancellor: Well, that was uncalled for. And mean... :( I used to like you. A lot…

Pope: You had it coming! Asked for it in spades! Spades!!! x 10¶

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
