A few days ago I wanted to convert British pounds to dollars and I thought Google’s calculator could do it, but I couldn’t get it to work so I ended up using a currency conversion site.
Today I found out why I couldn’t get convert currency with the Google calculator: they just added support for converting currency. I just tried it and it worked great. You just use regular English, like 5 dollars to pounds, and it does the rest (it’s 2.86 pounds by the way).
I love XE.com, I have no idea why!
