[USMA:52301] Re: The Metric System, the United States of America, and Scientific Literacy | Sci-Ed

The article
starts off with: "Here’s a quick quiz: I weigh 71 kilograms,
and am about 1.82 meters tall"�
I think the common
way of measuring human height is, for example, 182 cm, but not as the
example given in the article. I think the person writing the article
should have done a little more research before getting off on the wrong
foot. David Pearl MetricPioneer.com 503-428-4917
