I think it is a waste of time to be concerned about changing traditional English language expressions. I don't give a hoot if people measure "mileage" in either km/L or L/100 km. It is hard enough just getting folks to accept liters and kilometers without asking them to change everyday expressions. One of the (few) good things about the traditional U.S. system is that the words tend to be short and useful as parts of everyday expressions; they are easy to say. Why bother to change that?
