Dear Chad:
I enjoyed your story about the metric signs. There are actually some
places in the

experts, then did it
If you can tell me how to explain rationally
Central and center then I will appreciate the help for my children should
centre not be pronounced centrer if we follow Webster's rule blindly
Met
I have considered the spelling issue as well,
as long as you spell central as centeral I have no problems with meter.
of course some of us think of a meter as a voltmeter, and we should always
try and confuse the young.

Dear Governor,

tax payers funds converting from the metric system adopted in 1993 to the

the legally adopted system for the US in the federal legislation.
