Which has been the most economically successful country since the invention of the metric system? Why has just about every major country that adopted the metric system gone downhill after doing so? While those that haven't gone downhill pretty much make their money selling stuff to the non-metric country? And why do those countries adopt the language, currency, and a lot of the culture of the non-metric country?

So what exactly is so difficult about "ls -ltr"? Of course you do know that the internal time/date field is not mm/dd/yyy format, but a
time_t type, usually an interger value representing seconds since midnight, January 1st, 1970. And there's why the date is usually in mm/dd/yy format: because that's the way we normally say it.
