La Cucaracha's 2014 Non-lyin' Mayan Prophecies The Mayan apocalypse will again be postponed, this time because of a failure to convert Mayan to metric.
Umm…It should be “Maya Prophecies” and “Maya Apocalypse”; Mayan should only be used in reference to the language. I realize this is not the popular way of using the words, but as any anthropologist/archaeologist working in the area would point out, it is the correct way.
@pschearer, So much “human scale” that the dollar and now even the pound sterling are DECIMALIZED (good-bye shillings and pennies). Maybe like in Manga Reva a binary system would be better

It’s “wreak havoc”, though the error is common and understandable.
