We are neither 100% metric nor 100% Customary. We are either "semi-metric" or "all screwed up." I would propose the country can't be considered fully metric until the following is true. Metric measure is either required or allowed, on a standalone basis, for all measurement purposes. Customary is never required nor acceptable on a standalone basis. Dual is allowed, but the Customary is only supplemental information.

Knowing of United States history of being a co-signer of the Metric Convention and our slow transition and sometimes opposition to Metrication, shared with the United Kingdom, is it considered a metric country? -- Sincerely, Edward B.
