THIS IS REALLY SAD... What is even worse, is foreign immigrants who still speak English in a broken fashion and with a thick accent will not use metric and some even pretend not to know it or remember it. I always think in these cases they may be afraid to. They may think I am trying to trick them into divulging their true loyality. If they use metric, then they can not be loyal to America. They may be afraid of being expelled. Who knows! NEXT TIME THEY TELL YOU THIS TELL THEM THAT FFU AINT 'MERICAN EITHER. TELL THEM ITS BRITISH AGAINST WHOM AMERICA FOUGHT IN ITS FIRST MAJOR WAR I am the only person I know, other they you guys on thsi list, that is positive about metric. No one wants it and the only reason that is given: "It ain't 'merican". Even from so-called educated people.
