Paul, sir:
SIncerely,
Indeed interesting expressing the use of SI, which could avoid use of " "
as: SI-ncerely,.....I mean simply a 'hypen' could have done the trick. I am
sure USMA and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) could
*think of using it for an additional week in their PRIVATE correspondence
too.
SI-ncerely yours,

Subject: [USMA:37347] Your Public Relations Director on National Metric
Week 2006
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 11:03:56 -0500
Dear USMA Officers, USMA Members, and friends of U.S. metrication,
National Metric Week 2006 (8 to 14 October) has arrived, and your PR
"insurgent" has been very busy!
Each year for the past 30 years, USMA and the National Council of Teachers
of Mathematics (NCTM) have teamed up for an entire week to raise awareness
of the metric system across the U.S. . This year, we continue to engage the
issues of metric education and metric "independence" (i.e., to obtain the
option of metric-only labeling in the U.S).
With regard to metric education, I have just completed a mail campaign with
the candidates for office in this month's NCTM election. On the optional
metric-only labeling front, I have written to the weights-and-measures
directors of the four remaining states (New York, New Jersey, Alabama, and
Hawaii) that have not adopted the Uniform Packaging and Labeling
Regulations (UPLR) model regulation on optional metric-only labeling for
products not subject to federal rules. A copy of each letter is attached
to this e-mail.
I am pleased to learn from our friends at the NIST Laws and Metric Group
that all of the U.S. non-state jurisdictions (District of Columbia, Guam,
Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) have adopted the
UPLR model regulation on optional metric-only labeling . Once the remaining
four jurisdictions join them, then all U.S. jurisdictions will by law allow
metric to stand alone. Then, we can argue effectively that, if it is
permitted by all of the states united, then it should be permitted by the
United States!
"SI"ncerely,
Paul Trusten, R.Ph.
Public Relations Director
