I looked Meterage up at Dictionary dot com and the definition is entirely
different from footage. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/meterage

How about the following found with the help of google translate.
Meterage,
for footage
landmark, significant event, achievement, highlight, watershed,
benchmark, touchstone, for milestone

Al Lawrence. In my opinion, your evaluation is accurate (and also
unfortunate). I wonder about common expressions like footage and
milestone. What words could we use in lieu of such words? Any ideas?

I think this sums up the attitude of most Americans perfectly. They
know a lot of things in the US are already metric, they think going to
metric seems like a good idea and that maybe someone should finally
make a decision, but in the end, they just don't want to bother.
