Globally, U.S. Doesn't Measure Up

Your April 23 front-page article "Increasingly, Rules of Global Economy Are
Set in Brussels" doesn't mention America's system of weights and measures,
vs. the dominant world standard. It is axiomatic that if the global economy
is going to play by global rules, part of these rules include the metric
system. The U.S. economy is significantly harmed by using a system of
weights and measures that is cumbersome and irrational, and not the standard
of the overwhelming majority of the world. America must bite the bullet and
align itself with a world standard that is rational -- i.e. water freezes at
0 degrees, not 32 degrees -- or be harmed competitively.
