Abstract: A recent newspaper article recounted an accident which underHnes the need for a universal, worldwide system of measure. It seems that a tourist from South America was visiting this country and staying at a hotel with a swimming pool. The weather was quite warm and he decided to go for a swim. He went to the pool, observed the number 3 etched in the tile and dove in. While recovering from a broken neck, he stated that he believed the depth to be three metres, not three feet. While this may not occur very frequently it confirms the need for communication and comprehension in measuring systems.
