| This weekend we've been examining a catalogue from the 'House of Bath', in Bath, which sells baths, bathroom accessories and a range of household furniture, carpets etc. by post.
All items are described in Imperial only.
It therefore scores 100% on ARM's 'English Readability Index', where 3 points are scored for Imperial only; 2 points for Imperial first, metric second; 1 point for metric first, Imperial second, and of course 0 points for metric only

Stands to reason, dinosaurs prefer dinosaur measurements.
