Nah, if were American I'd be endorsing the old Imperial measurements, because nobody else in the world would - even the English are now using the metric system for fak's sake!!! Good old Napoleon had the stupid idea of measuring everything in a standardised way, but who cares what a litre of water weighs at sea level?!??!?
Clearly NOT the Americans... I'm just glad it hasn't effected the ability of the American Government to kill a lot of innocent people.
~whew!~
