Title: Wausau - Metric system still foreign

Nat gave us a news clip from Wausau. I thought he meant the one in Poland but they're 100% metric!   Here's a reply to the Wausau Daily Herald in Wisconsin:-   ***************************   Hi,   Re your article 'Metric System Still Foreign', what's wrong with you guys? Metrics is easy. You don't have any trouble in replacing an old TV set or an old car with the latest ones, so why can't you do the same with your old measuring system?   We absolutely LOVE our metrics and can't 'fathom' out how to use calculations based on fractions or non-base-10 units.   You're supposed to be the 'greatest' nation on Earth aren't you, so where's the proof?   Regards   Mike Joy 8 John Place Perth WA 6027 Australia
