I see your point, John, and agree with much of it. However, I know few
people so outrageously stupid as to not be able to figure out 2 whatnots *
2.5 = 5 whatnots, whether a "whatnot" means a gallon, a liter, or a biblical
ephah. (Note, though, I say "few" rather than "none"). <g>
<<... your anti-metric attitude is the fault...>>
I'm reasonably sure "your" referred to this hypothetical person, not to me,
but just in case it did, please note that I am not leaning toward the
"Flintstone" camp. The USA needs SI ASAP!
