Question about Candians..

[Joe]

Do Canadian cowboys wear 3.78-decalitre hats?

As opposed to the American's 10-gallon hats.

Not funny.

[Blaze]

Decalitre?   

[dark_drake]

Decalitre?   

Yeah... wouldn't it be dekaliter?

Edit: It seems that Joe is right, too. It seems you can spell it decaliter, decalitre, dekaliter, or dekalitre.  That's ridiculous

Well, it depends. In Canada, a gallon is 4.5L, so it'd be 4.50daL. 

And nobody here ever used the deca prefix (or deci and hecti).  They exist for fun, I think.

I've heard that before!  I think they exist for the same reason that those Sacagawea dolars did in the US: some fool thought they'd be used.  That and they kind of fill a gap...

Deci- is used in decimal

Anyway, Sacagawea dollars are dropped out of the change machines in PATCO (Port Authority Transit Comission) high speed line stations.

We're clearly talking about units here, not number systems.

I'd say that's about as obscure as a few people amongst millions using "decalitre" frequently.

There's a Canadian that lives a few rooms over, and he hates carrying one-dollar bills around; he prefers coins for whatever reason, so he actually goes to the bank and trades all of his ones in for Sacajawea dollar coins.

Dumb. And please, please stop with the 1 pt font, it's really annoying.

i was talking about Deci, not Deca -- Deci = 1/10, and Deca/Deka = 10.

I totally agree.  $1 bills are SO annoying!  I can't even really explain why, they're just so much less convenient than coins.  One major reason is vending machines -- none of our vending machines here take bills, so we don't have to worry about getting bills nice and flat before trying to stick them into a machine.  I hated doing that. 

And please, please stop with the 1 pt font, it's really annoying.

There's a reason FireFox has a "minimum font size" setting.  I'll never see a font, in my browser, smaller than 8pt. 

I tried getting rid of the "size" tag altogether at one point, but it wasn't appreciated.  Apparently, some people use bigger fonts as headings, but I haven't seen it done yet...

I meant "Who the hell uses deca anything?"

[Joe]

The prefix is accepted as either "deka" or "deca", and depending on US/GB Engish, "litre" or "liter", just like calibre and colours.

EDIT -
iago, don't you use the Loonie and Twonie coins as worth $1 and $2 CAD? Also, as you may see in older dollar bills, it's actually a certificate that entitles you to a dollars worth of silver stored in some military base somewhere (Fort Knox, I think?). The older bills said "Silver Certificate", but the newer ones say "Federal Reserve Note".

Welcome to economy. Tomarrow we will be discussing inflation and deflation.

Yes, we have coins that represent $1 and $2.  They're very useful.
