Yipeee! About time you Americans adopted the metric system, I say

It truly seems easier than the complicated calculations the archaic ounces pounds inches and feet require. Though I guess if you have been educated to use it it's fine. Change is never easy, but I do wish you all success when you do eventually change over. Saying I weigh 47 kilos sounds so much nicer that (eeeek!) 108/9 pounds *giggle*

Funny, we don't have to do calculations to figure out pounds and miles.

Knowing both systems....that's what they teach in school, these days, I just question why we persist with the old English system. I have to say that the metric system is one thing the French did, VERY well (I seem to recall the notion of a meter developed by a French scientist). I mean...why do we use pounds as a weight when weight is a function of gravity? Mass in kilos is constant, no matter where you are.
