>Dear Mr. Bath, > >Thank you for writing; it is always a pleasure to hear from our readers in >Ontario. In regard to the apparent inconsistencies of TIME's use of metric >and English scales of measurement in our Canadian edition, you have touched >upon a fascinating issue. In general we use metric measurements in the >Canadian edition. However, in the "translation" of articles that are >common to both the U.S. and Canadian edition, such as Joel Stein's >September 3 women's tennis piece, "The Power Game," lapses have been known >to occur. The editors regret the confusion and are grateful for the >reminder to be more vigilant with our units. > > Sincerely, > > Brian Berger > > >
