Generally speaking, all archeological reports are written in the metric
system so that archeologists from Europe can read our reports. Stupid!
We migrated here to get away from their way of thinking. Why should we
conform to their measurements?

Maybe the younger generation can handle the metric system but I am too
old to be very comfortable using it.
