And with concurring respect - I don't intend to learn how to be a metric expert or scholar. You need to realise quite how many people will/have read that manual in their life (in % value).You should be concentrating on making metric 'user-friendly' rather than suggesting that a reference manual is handy when undertaking measurement tasks. Again, this is advice (from MHO) rather than me 'knocking' you.
