Better yet, we should challenge him to "go it alone". Let's suggest that HE be the
subject of the definition of such mediocre stuff, then he can finally go down in
history as the *one* after which this imperial crap is named for... ;-)
But then again, I'm curious to know how the pint, ounces and gallon are *specifically*
defined. Did he yield such definitions to the "American" way, or is he sticking with
the British one, which "universal Anglo-Saxon" definition is he clinging to?
(Evidently, I won't be wasting my hard-earned dollars buying such trash... ;-) ).
