Hello does anyone have
any idea what the US dairy industry will do when the FPLA will allow metric only
labeling? Do you think they will do a hard metric conversion lets say from one
gallon to 4 L, or do a soft conversion to 3.8 L? When the dairy industry
in Canada went metric they did a
John,
Very simply the dairy industry wont
change a thing from how they are doing it now. Dairy is regulated at the
state level and is unaffected by the FPLA. It may be affected by the UPLR
depending on how a state adopts its provisions. Keep in mind, many states
still specify the

An argument that might be used to retain lower case k as the symbol for kilo

For example, if you wish to write 2000 kelvin, you might write:
2 kilokelvin or 2 kK.
There is

I assume the correct form is 2000 kelvins (plural) or 2 kilokelvins (again,
plural), right?
Surely Ezra is right!
I can find nothing in The International System of Units (SI) that deals with this point, but a unit is a noun and therefore would
I just saw coca-cola being sold in 500 ml glass bottles. I live in southern
California, and the bottles looked imported from Mexico. Anyone else see
these elsewhere in the US?

One kilogram can possibly be:
Gr=GRAM=1000g.
Now Brij wants to change the names of the units and use the same word for two different units:
gram = traditional SI gram
GRAM = 1000 g
What then would a million grams be, Brij?
Would it still be

Your timing is exquisite, John. I just got through writing someone to tell
them about Coca Cola bottles from Mexico on grocery shelves here in Texas
where I live. Albertson's has a kind of Mexican section in the store, and
there are some Coke bottles ther. Only this particular Coke, in a glass
Sie is plural as is you-all, which is more commonly spelled y'all.
Sie also means they, which is not the same as the plural you or you-all.
The Olympics do not use feet and inches for the long jump. That is the
American media that does that. And I think also the American Olympians
themselves. I saw some TV video of one of the women's tryouts and near the
landing spot was a sign that had 7 m on top and underneath was 21 , 22, and

In German:
sie = she
sie = they
du = you (singular/informal)
Sie = you (plural/ singular polite)
Ihr = you (plural/ singular polite) but in different context
I think Sie is used in the nominative case (where You is the subject),
and Ihr for one or more of the other cases, but it is a long time
I don't understand this GRAM = 1000g stuff. What is Brij on about?
Metric is meant to be easy, not meddled with to make it harder. Maybe
he is trying to win over the imperialists who love their units to be
extremely hard to convert and as confusing as can be...

It might have a lot to do with four different people (or maybe more)
involved in the whole process:
1.) The person who decides to use the half-litre size.
2.) The person who is in charge of designing the label for the bottle itself
3.) The person who designs the carton for the bottles
4.) The
