Dear All,
You might enjoy this interchange that I found at
http://www.small-business-forum.net/water-cooler/3212-how-come-we-still-havent-embraced-metric-system-here-7.html
Frederick, I'm going to agree with Steve. Just renaming items to
metric isn't changing to the metric system.
And the reply was:
Yes, it is. That's all the metric system is - a different way of
measuring things. They are still the same things. They are just
measured differently. Thinking otherwise is why people feel they
cannot make the change. You make a big problem of something and you
create your own difficulties.
Cheers,
Pat Naughtin
