Paul, sir:Indeed it is great that US has almost reconciled to THINK METRIC for public life & children at portals of learning. BUT how come, we still wish to adhere to *defeat the very purpose* by NOT FOLLOWING the basic need of SI language - the spellings for Meter vs Metre.Brij Bhushan Vij Saturday, 2012 April 07H00:51(decimal)IST Aa Nau Bhadra Kritvo Yantu Vishwatah -Rg Veda The Astronomical Poem (revised number of days in any month) "30 days has July,September, April, June, November and December all the rest have 31 except February which has 29 except on years divisible evenly by 4; except when YEAR divisible by 128 and 3200 - as long as you remember that "October (meaning 8) is the 10th month; and December (meaning 10) is the 12th BUT has 30 days & ONE OUTSIDE of calendar-format" Jan:31; Feb:29; Mar:31; Apr:30; May:31; Jun:30 Jul:30; Aug:31; Sep:30; Oct:31; Nov:30; Dec:30 (365th day of Year is World Day) ******As per Kali V-GRhymeCalendaar***** "Koi bhi cheshtha vayarth nahin hoti, purshaarth karne mein hai" My Profile - http://www.brijvij.com/bbv_2col-vipBrief.pdf Author had NO interaction with The World Calendar Association except via Media & Organisations to who I contributed for A Possible World Calendar, since 1971.

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [USMA:51594] tonne--yeah, right Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2012 10:28:33 -0500 To me, "metric ton" is cognate with "metric yard" for "meter." I have always voted for the megagram. Although they are recognized within the SI, "tonne" and, for that matter, "hectare," are throwbacks to pre-metric units. But, that's just me. Paul T.
