Hi:
I was thinking the other day that some people think the word "metric" is 
foreign.  That could be one of the monkey wrenches that keeps our country 
mostly using legacy measures.
So, since we use a decimal system of coinage, I propose that we call the metric 
system of weights and measures simpl;y the "Decimal" system of weights and 
measures.  That is what it is!In the United States, We can retain all the 
labels like liter, kilometer, meter, millimeter, hectare. etc.
Now, think:  The "Decimal" system of weights and measures.Does that sound OK?
