In reading this discussion of angular measurement, I'm kinda glad that the American public isn't looking over my shoulder. This is the kind of dialogue that the anti-metric forces use as a caricature against us to try to convince the public that the metric system is anything but simple. The truth is, of course, that the more arcane, derived units will seldom see the public light of day. I must try to keep my eyes on the prize---of measuring areas, lengths, weights, and volumes in an elegant decimal manner which is the same everywhere on earth. The simplicity of the everyday metric system will sell itself.
