In John's defense, he does claim that most (American) people don't actually know FFU -- but that they are NOT anti-FFU.

By John's logic: (A) if you don't know French, you are anti-French (B) if you don't know German, you are anti-German (C) if you don't know Russian, you are anti-Russian (D) if you don't know Swahili, you are anti-African (E) etc. If you believe John, then you must think most people are a bunch of racists, as well as being anti-metric.
