Their Tech Beat Newsletter I get seems to do a better job, for example:
"Peas and carrots, quantity 100 grams, in 500 milliliters of room
temperature water in a 1.4 liter (1.5 quart) aluminum-bottom pan. The peas and
carrots are mixed, and neither are floating."

Subject: [USMA 1553] Help encourage NIST to use the SI
ATTENTION: This email came from an external source. Do not open attachments or
click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails.
I get a feed from NIST from time to time in my Facebook. I can't help cringe
when they list units of measure in their posts using ye olde fashioned
primarily, and the SI equivalent parenthetically.
If you're on the Facebooks, I ask you to please message the NIST page and
encourage them to list SI first, medieval units parenthetically. If there's an
organization willing to respond, it would certainly be NIST.
GO METRIC, AMERICA!
The World Is Waiting...
