gogoblender 3,070 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 empire -> monarchy re imperial vs metric... imperial was what I grew up with, and in states its still very imperial there... here in Quebec, all metric... I still intuitively think in terms of imperial however mostly regarding feet and inches ...I think this is actually primarily from a foot being a "foot" ? re poetry, Hooyaah, last few years or so I've come to have an appreciation for poetry...its not something ill go hunt for, and im not a writer of it, but I do like how little can say so much I remember me and my friend having an argument about literary styles when we were younger and he said that "poetry is the most powerful way of conveying massive amounts of information at once because it utilizes symbolism instead of words?" gogo Link to comment
