“Two Bits” ...

I used that term at work, and the new hires (25 year-old engineers) didn’t know what it meant.

So I had to explain Pieces-of-Eight and chopping them up, etc.

I’m not sure they wanted to know.

Maybe going metric would help i.e., 6.35 mm

Just what the hell passes for history in schools these days?
