    It might be funny if it were true, but it’s just a sad show of ignorance. It is exactly as possible in one as in the other for obvious reasons. It’s just not as easy to memorize.

    To be specific:

    • energy required to heat to boiling point 1180 kJ
    • energy required to convert to vapor 8420 kJ
    • energy required to heat to boiling point and convert to vapor 9600 kJ

      Nobody said impossible, just that you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.

      Can’t we just agree that metric is superior?
