I like it, but I doubt the committee will accept it. I wish to particularly talk about point #2.  If the units of measure are decimally related, somechoice can be allowed, for example pricing per kilogram or per 100 g.  I can do the math in my head.  However, if Customary is retained, there

Yes indeed, Thank you Don.  With 110 names on our list, one would think that those 110 people probably live in at least ten or perhaps even twenty or so states. We have state metrication legislation pending in Hawaii (HB36). We have state metrication legislation pending in Oregon (LC44). Please
