[USMA:25961] my German friend never heard of SI

[Paul Trusten, R.Ph.]

For just about as long as I've been following this list, I have had a German pen pal in Berlin. Last week, I sent her something I had written, and it was peppered with the acronym "SI". She, a music teacher and a lifelong European, wrote back to me asking what "SI" stood for, and of course,I replied with an explanation   She is only one person, but it got me to thinking---is the acronym familiar to most people who use that measurement system?   Paul Trusten, R.Ph. 3609 Caldera Boulevard, Apartment 122 Midland TX 79707-2872 USA 432-694-6208 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   "There are two cardinal sins, from which all the others spring: impatience and laziness."                           ---Franz Kafka
