I have two observations regarding this article (apart from it
being six
years old).
Firstly, who or what is the organization "Americans for Customary
Weight and
Measure". They do not appear to have a website.
Dear Martin,
You might understand who 'Americans for Customary Weight and Measure'
are if you see that they are affiliated with the British Weights and
Measures Association (BWMA). See: http://www.bwmaonline.com/ACWM.htm
The article at http://www.fee.org/publications/the-freeman/
article.asp?aid=3485 is exactly the same.
