I have been invited back to the Language Fair at the College of Charleston in order to provide a table (a larger one this time!) promoting the SI. This fair is aimed at promoting studies of foreign languages, cultural awareness, and foreign travel (especially for studies). The date of the fair is February 21 and runs for three hours.
I plan again to provide the means for people to check their height and weight (mass) in SI units and this time will be adding the opportunity for them to check their temperatures with an otic (ear) thermometer (with disposable sanitary lenses). Of course, I will emphasize the universal understandability of the SI, regardless of language, and will also provide information on metrication progress in the U.S., vis-a-vis the rest of the world. Your comments and suggestions would be appreciated. Jim -- James R.
