I said "update the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act to allow, but not
require, the use of metric-only package labeling in the USA. This will not
affect package sizes, only the labeling on the packages themselves, in an

I think that we all here know that when we say "Metric System" we mean SI,
not cgs. If we started talking about "SI," we'd get befuddled looks from
almost everybody. Curiously, we call that system "SI Metric" rather than
"International System," though I like that term, but it too would also no

Yes Carleton. I agree with your statement. It is our goal to achieve all

Martin Morrison. I agree with what you say. But I find it a bit strange
that most people in this group still call it the Metric System, when we
