Hi mainehunt,
But what fun would that be?
(After all the time I spent learning to recognize at a glance that .375 is 3/8. Let' s not even talk about /32' s, /64' s, etc.)
Besides the eight years I spent living in Germany, (actually FRG), it always sounded so much more cool to say I' d spent the last couple of hours cruising the autobahn at 230kph...rather than 150mph.
In all seriousness though, after the trouble I see many of today' s youngsters have simply making change, without an electronic aid......I believe you to be right! But I don' t think we will overcome the " metric stigma" any time soon.
