You must have your head well buried if you think you can ignore 'the
metric system'. Whether you want it or not it's here.

So What! We just use BOTH anyway!
If we cared so much about what Europeans thought, we might have
sympathized
with the Nazis TOO!

The metric system's not 'European', it's WORLDWIDE, except for a slab of
N
America and 2 backward states in Africa and Asia.

What slab of N. America? WE USE METRIC AND A VARIETY OF OTHER MEASURING
UNITS! WE HAVE TO CONVERT ALL THE TIME IN OUR HEADS WHEN WE SHOP! PITA
burden for sending out money all over the World for cheap crap!
I got news for you... BINARY is WORLDWIDE!
