Hi All,
I wanted to share a response my spouse and I received from Peet's Coffee
and Tea.
We brought a bag of ground coffee. When we were going to perculate some, we
read the directions and I thought it was asking for to much ground coffee
since I know 2 teaspoons are 10g. So I wrote to customer se
Hi Al, and everyone,
I also agree that Martin made good points. I also think that most people do
not want to be bothered with math, however pointing out cans of vegetables
like many groceries come in 500mL cans and figuring out cost per mL or gram
is to the consumer's advantage.

Hi all:
I have watched a few clips of Wanda Sykes "Ima Be Me" videos including the
one on not changing to the metric system. Her routine is someone who you can't
fool. Wanda Sykes is making fun of everyone including herself and getting
the audience to think!

Hi All,
I was thinking about Bills LC44 and HB36 and introducing a similar bill in

Hi all!
I put in my 2 cents with suggesting if dual labeling is required pairing
one inch pound unit to the SI, instead of including or starting with larger

I looked up recipes on Food.com for a curry dish. I noticed a toggle

I can understand you noticing the lack of mention of the need to complete

A national approach to complete the transition to the SI metric system may

This leaves the decision to States and industries to decide when they wish

Lessons I have learned so far from “Metrication in Australia”.

avoidance of conversion factors in Education but have

I do not think it is resistance on the part of New York. I think as long as

I think change need not come from the government but through commerce.
When cost of doing business in dual units becomes more expensive
