This is the same country that still won't go metric, y'know. Dern 
Europeans with your funny time measures, weird dimensional and 
volumetric scales, that Euro thing, the wrong number of quotation 
marks, and of course your bizarre insistence on using 's' instead of 
'z' in perfectly straightforward words such as 'hypothesize'.

Perhaps if the Brits and Aussies, et. al., would drive on the *proper* 
side of the road we'd pay a little more attention to how they thought 
we should tell time. :D
