In their comprehensive literature review, Edwards et al (2009) found that successful methods for increasing response rates to postal surveys include monetary incentives, use of shorter questionnaires, follow-up contact, and reply envelopes that contain a stamp rather than metered postage.
In that time, the volume of first-class mail declined 25 percent, including a 36 percent decline in individual letters — the kind that use stamps rather than meters.
Today the United States is one of the few remaining nations that measure things in feet, quarts and pounds rather than meters, liters and kilograms.
Allow cabs to pick up more than one fare at a time, using "zone" charges rather than meters for such trips, the way they do in cities like Washington.
The range on them is in the kilometers rather than meters, so these can really connect quite a large area.
Analyses involving plasma glucose concentrations used laboratory rather than meter glucose values.
Body surface area (BSA) was calculated from the DuBois & DuBois formula with height in centimeters rather than meters, as BSA(m) = 0.007184 × height (cm 0.725 × weight (kg 0.425.
"The cable industry is living proof that people would rather pay for 300 channels they never watch rather than get metered".

In these diagrams the speeds are shown in feet per second, rather than the meters per second used in figures 1, 2, and 3. Figure 5 shows a nearly front-on engagement direction (again, note that all the vector speeds are now in feet per second).
