Today, with every tick of the atomic clock at the National Bureau of
Standards, Microsoft Windows is booting up somewhere on the planet
(often
for the fourth time today).

As long as we are making changes, let's go to the 24 hour clock. No
confusion about AM or PM when the clock strikes 1800 hours.

Very unimaginative. We go to some type of metric day (base 10). We
also go to a metric year (10 months) with 10 (not 12) deciyears, etc.,
etc., etc....

the US or are in the US but are not natives post a note with the following
bit of information.

What is the reference country?
How are eggs sold there by the dozen or by ten?
