I sent the following to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Most Americans have no idea of their own archaic system and most have more
knowledge of the metric system. Let's test your knowledge,
How many ounces are legal in the US?
Is an ounce of cheese or an ounce of gold heavier.
How many miles are legal in the US?
Is the foot used in measuring an acre bigger or smaller than the foot rule
I can buy?
How big exactly is a gallon?
How many different Gallons are there?
The next exit is 2000 ft, how many miles is that in decimal miles?
What temperature does water boil at in Fahrenheit?
Of all the ignorant comments made in a newspaper yours takes the cake. One
of our founding fathers (Thomas Jefferson) proposed the metric system be
used by the US, as would any intelligent human being, it's rational,
simple and most answers can be figured out in your head. Even your head!
Thank god there are *not *16 cents to the Dollar!
