I went to a routine podiatry appointment (diabetic foot care) in Sparta
TN today. Sparta has a population of just over 5000 people and it's the
county seat of White County, in Middle Tennessee.
When asked for my height and weight I gave them in meters and kilograms
and they were recorded without a flinch. Now, I cannot say that the
staff didn't convert those values later, but at least they didn't act
like they've never heard of metric units or thought that using them was
strange. Not bad for a small, country town.
