Paul, sir:
Reading this make me feel that I see TWILIGHT for America's Metrication
programme.
My tryst with Time & Calendars has been a 'hidden resentment' in the hope
that it may be United States who would push for *Metrication All The Way*.
My arguments with Calendar/Astronomy experts bring me to:

It certainly is *time that 'gaps' in metric history are bridged* inclusive
for Reform of Gregorian calendar!
Regards,
Brij Bhushan Vij

Mike, here is the letter as it was published:
Readers debate gun control and argue for decimalization.

End foot vs. meter inefficiency
Regarding the April 19 Editorial, "US and Europe: syncing up standards":
The editorial failed to mention one standards issue that is affecting the
US not only in Europe, but throughout the world: our standard of
measurement. The US is the last major nation on earth that does not use the
metric system of measurement as its primary, and everyday, measurement
standard. For decades, American interests have been cut off from the easy
interchangeability of ideas and products because we speak our unique
measurement language.
Our country could have completed metrication in 1985 - a government study
recommended a 10-year transition, and Congress passed the Metric Conversion
Act in 1975 - but lack of leadership and a national lack of interest
postponed this change yet another generation. However, on Jan. 1, 2010, the
US may have to worry about a lot more than just the design of the VW Passat
headlights. Starting on that date, the European Union may no longer allow
the importation of nonmetric products. The US, which instituted decimal
currency in the 18th century, is long overdue to embark upon its
decimalization of measurement here in the 21st. For the complete story,
please see www.metric.org <http://www.metric.org>.

Paul can you reprint a copy of your letter here so I can read it again. I
think you might have posted it previously a while back.
Thanks, Mike Payne

Thank you very much, Stan. The 19 April editorial on which I was
commenting, having to do with the CSM's urging the need for U.S. and EU
standards
to be brought into agreement in other areas, was a real gift. I wrote my
letter within a couple of minutes of reading that item.
I am hopeful that this letter will gain new exposure for USMA, especially
through mention of our Web site.

You described the problem of metricaton and its outlook in the US and
the world very well.
