While I personally feel that America should adopt metric usage, my recipe software doesn't display or figure both imperial and metric. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Dear Sirs,
 
RE: http://www.recipedujour.com/

 
I read about your website in an article in our Sunday newspaper.  After I subscribed to your daily recipes, I noted they are all in the US imperial system. 
 
As I have been educated on the metric system, I have been frustrated that it has been necessary for me to change your measurement settings from US imperial to metric in order to follow the recipes.
 
Whilst I understand that the USA is the only major country which has retained the imperial system of measurement, 
Australia and other countries that you send your emails to have been metric for many decades.  I believe your site should also be available in the metric system for those countries which have made this productive change. 
 
Could you please advise why your recipes are not available in metric units? 
 
Regards,
