What really bothers me, having grown up in metric, is that in the US,
physics tends to be a mix of imperial and metric.

Belated question about the s
Does OOo 1.1 have an installation option for "American" settings yet?
The main reason I don't recommend it to people is the fact that it

True -- but the tins of food are all metric, the petrol is sold by the
