Nothing new here, of course, but I did see a show
tonight that I believe was produced or at least co-produced by the BBC on the
National Geographic channel with what sounded like a UK host/narrator on the
role of heat cycles in global weather patterns. Not suprisingly, I heard the
usual mish-mash of liters and meters and degrees Celsius mixed with miles and
inches and one reference to degrees Fahrenheit (following a reference to degrees
Celsius). Interestingly enough, there was not a single quantiative reference to
mass so I don't know if they would have talked in terms of "kilograms" or
"pounds".
Here's hoping the UKMA can manage to kick-start a
finish by the government of the metrication process over there!
