Vin's post in another thread made me think of what names other countries apply to common items here in the US.
So Vin,
Knowing you use metric what is a 2x4 to you? How about building a wall, how far apart do you put your studs. 16 inch on center is the norm here.
And how about a 4 ft x 8 ft piece of plywood ....what would you call that in Aussie_land?
How about you folks in England and anywhere else ...chime in and tell us what you call em also.
Vin said:Dave, I cant' beleive myself, things rub off hanging around here. I said gas, next i will be ordering 2x4 or 6x4 sheets Oh no and just the other day I said to someone something about hurricane Monica instead of cyclone Monica, I was promtly told i should go to the US to live.
