Hmm, after spending several years overseas with the metric system I too

believe that it would be difficult to convert.  Why, because all Americans

are fat and razy.  Actually some Americans are fat, some are razy and some

are fat AND razy.  But I digress...



I failed to really delve into the metric thing because I didn't really have

to.  I think they should give us a few years of both systems on packaging

and then switch it.  It will never get easier and people will complain no

matter what is decided.
