20,000 Leagues Under the Sea sounds much better than 111,120 kilometers.seamusTX wrote:The U.S. has been officially metric 18661. It just never caught on.
At least we pretty much got away from drams, rods, chains, fathoms, and the like, except for some specialties.

I remember when the U.S. was going to convert to metric. Back when Jimmy Carter was president.seamusTX wrote:Actually everyone else in the world. We're the only ones left using pounds.
The British would call it 19 stone.

That's one reason why the Europeans have it good. That's only 125 Kilos!The Annoyed Man wrote:Mine says I weigh 275. If only.....seamusTX wrote:Welcome to the forum.
I've never heard of a LEO worrying about the height on a CHL or driver license unless some 12 year old was trying to drive on a "borrowed" license.
Also with the photos being used for 10 years now, men have gone bald and grown beards since their last photo.
As for weight, don't get me started ...

I wouldn't worry about it. Many people who are 5'11" say they are six foot.RS-DRAW wrote:So I just got my CHL. It took a brief 2 weeks after class. Awesome.
But I noticed the height is off on my CHL by 1" as compared to my TDL.
I'm 5'11" on my driver license, but the CHL they just sent says 5'10".
That's just one of those thing I would not write down wrong. Seems an easy mistake to make if they're using then number pad on a keyboard to enter our data. This happen to anyone else?
Is it even something I should make a fuss about?
