Bill:
A few more days one way or the other is not of much consequence.
?????. I am surprised. Why limit to Nation Metric Week?
Let year 2006 be the METRIC promotion year. NO offence.

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has established "National
Metric Week" in the US and designated it to be the calendar week (Sunday to
Saturday) that includes 10-10 (October 10th). Many other organizations have
joined in and supported this designation of Metric Week.
While Brij's suggestion is interesting, I'm not sure it adds much of
significance to the Metric Week idea. A few more days one way or the other
is not of much consequence. And the idea of calling it a "dekaday" (for
"ten-day") is not very consistent with SI metric practice. The day is not
an SI unit of time. Generally, it is not considered proper SI usage to add
SI prefixes to non-SI units. So coining the "dekaday" is not particularly
good SI practice.
