Obviously it isnīt, while it still exists in the majority of the countries of the world. When will your part of the world go metric finally ? - Off course, here they also still talk in pounds (sometimes - but fading out), in deka(grams) in Austria ( = 10 grms), Zentner (100 pounds or 50 kgs) & Doppelzentner (= 200 pounds or 100 kgs), but not more in feet, fists, dozens, klafter, acre (we have ar = 10 x 10 meters = 100 sqm and ha = hectar = 100 x 100 meters = 10.000 sqm), no miles except GB, but kilometers (1000 meters), etc. ................................................
