And of course, it goes without saying that the obstinacy of my fellow
Americans, clinging absurdly to a ridiculously clumsy system of

Only nation on earth still not using metric, no?



That's what I think, but not sure. Let's see, our cars now come with
speedometers that can be switched to indicate km/hr instead of mph, and
liquor is sold in liters instead of quarts. That's the sum total of
fifteen or twenty years' worth of effort to go metric.
