I actually agree with getting rid of the stupid commission that hasn't even met for over 25 years. It obviously didn't help anyone metricate. Any funds spent were 100% waste.
But there is some astounding ignorance in the comments. "Is a fifth still a fifth?" No, for over thirty years it has been 750 mL instead. Obviously, this individual has gone out of his way to avoid noticing. ________________________________ From: Pat Naughtin <[email protected]> To: U.S. Metric Association <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, May 28, 2011 8:08:53 AM Subject: [USMA:50520] Re: Las Vagas misinformation Respond to what?
