My experience was similar to John's. I entered college 2 years later, in
1964. My daughter (B.S.E.E., NCSU) looked at my Halliday and Resnick
(physics text) several years ago and didn't even notice any unit
irregularities. She did however exclaim, "Dad! There aren't very many
pictures and diagrams in this book! And none of them are in color!"

before it was adopted in 1971; I used the concept in high school chemistry.)
