Re: Any Plans to abolish the US Imperial system in favour of metric?
If the U-S ever goes with the metric system (and as a Canadian, I say "please do"), don't go overboard like some Europeans.
When I talk about heights or weights, I never think in metric terms. I'm not 1.86 metres, nor do I weigh 100 kg. I can't picture someone who's 2.13 metres tall. But I know what a 7-footer looks like.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Also the illegal drug trade [/ QUOTE ] I'm not balla enough, so I'm still dealing in grams, ounces and pounds. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] Lol, apparently I'm not too bright either, which would explain my anti-balla status. Edited to add: This is one of the main reasons why they shouldn't instate the metric system here in the U.S. It just serves to confuse (people like me). Edited again to add: Yay, I've (inadvertently) become the posterchild for imperial weight system preservation.
