Not only Paul but every 'right mined American shouild' start Thinking WHAT IS RIGHT or our county?It is true the ase of operative parameters demand and re-confirm that Metric system has proved more logical and constructive that 'imperial uits that is now undermining the impact of Le Systeme Internationale d'Unites (SI).A better result shal be seen through study of a sample of High School children who have understood SI Metric Units and are struggling to 'forget the use & ease' of SIwhile meeting their task lines! Why would chldren not follow the SI system of they know the "dying imperial system of Units" is on its fade end.WE MST LOOK FOR EASE to use the Metric System; rather crete difficulty in NOT FORGETTING the units in use.
