Who is responsible for the Metrication US website? Is it officially
related to the USMA? All our emails appear on it.
Its tag line is '...slowly getting there, inch by inch'.
I think this needs changing!
1. While (sadly) we may be slowly getting there, we don't need to
make it an attribute! It should be something more positive.
2. Inch by inch? This is a METRIC website!! Whether the inch
by inch was meant to be tongue in cheek, I don't know, but a lot of
people will take that literally (especially the Stephen Humphreys of
this world).
This tag line needs to be changed!

Dear John,
They could try nanometre by nanometre.
This seems to be close to the apparent speed.
