That doesn't surprise me at all. I think there's a silent majority out there
(to borrow an old phrase) who do not object to increased metrication
provided it isn't too fast. People travel and use the Internet, and can see
the writing on the wall.
I think the way we're seeing this in the complete absence of any complaining
about increased metric packaging in the supermarket. P&G isn't putting out
all those nice round-SI sizes without checking with their focus groups!
