[USMA:32458] Re: 4 approaches to metric

[David King]

But did the USA go completely metric? I think Pat was referring to 
countries that went completely metric, such as Australia, and most of 
the world. When a country dithers and delays its changeover, it usually 
loses its way and ends up returning to an old way because people lose 
the will to change, if the change is not completed in the right way.

*Hello Pat. in your post you said that when a company  or person or 
country where metric has been adopted never goes back to pre metric 
measurements. Most of the States that had gone to metric in their 
departments of transportations have gone back to imperial. like i have 
said before this is a big step backwards in going metric in the 
states. I wonder how California is doing in their return to imperial 
measurements in their department of transportation?           *
