Mayhe the way to get more play on TV and on radio and in the newspaper would be if all of us might look for ways to talk about metrication while also entertaining folks with as ridiculous as these "conversations."
I agree with Andy but with a cution.
We would need to be careful not to go public with some of our arcane discussions of what is wrong with these crazy conversions. My recent message discussing the relative "correctness" of "10 cards = 1 dekacards" vs. "52 cards = 1 dekacards" is a case in point. (I am more guilty than anyone else in pointing out flaws in such things.) If we would introduce such discussions on the general public they would probably think we were serious and use it as one more example of why metric is difficult or complex.
