[USMA:53466] Re: Math Test

[Harry Wyeth]

Official or not, no one anywhere is ever going to use the unusual SI 
prefixes in everyday life.  It is odd enough to encounter 
deciliters/centiliters in Europe when is makes a lot more sense to just 
say 1500 mL or 1.5 liters, which is what most folks do.  The whole point 
of the USMA is to get the US to convert to the metric system, and the 
only way it will ever happen is for it to be made so simple, which we 
all know it is, that JoeSixpac will go for it without a hassle.  It's 
not going to happen in my lifetime and maybe not until the next transit 
of Venus either, if ever, unless the US government gets off its duff and 
exerts some leadership.  Given recent history, lotsaluck.
