94 years? I had no idea that it has been around as an organisation for that
long. I was going to say that there's a key milestone coming up in 6 years
but - erm - ahem ;-)

To all,
I can state to you that
the organization advocates US conversion to the SI metric
system as the Nation's primary, everyday
measurement standard, a stance that has
not changed in the 94 years we have been in existence.
As we say, it is not "metrIFication" because we believe thereis no

Actually it was a mountain bike I bought. So you're probably right about
things here too. I'll check next time.

Thanks for your words, John - you would make a very good 'soccer' referee!!

Maybe not. Sierra Leone seems to be officially Imperial according to this

I have mixed feelings on this:
*Always good to see the government require metric (and only metric) on ANYTHING
*If this was passed in 2008, to be effective in 2010, why wasn't two years
enough? It's only a two month delay but why is any delay needed?

It would appear that the US government will not use any form of compulsion to
further metrication. Therefore, the cause can ONLY be furthered by convincing
people. That requires a compelling argument to people who aren't already
convinced. We may not actually convert Steve, but we should welc
