Lyle, I just wanted to state that all my comments on this thread have been in jest. I really don't think that decimal points are heavy and rarely use pencils. I am a chemical engineer and calculate tanks volumes. I use both systems equally. I would not say that "American" (not that Americans invented it) measurement is idiotic, but it is archaic. What kind of clue should America get?
