I was a big fan of the imperial pound, but have been won over by the sheer sexiness of the kilogram. It's my favouritest metric measure.

I remain to be convinced about the sexiness.

Yes, it is only worth 2.2 pounds, when all said and done.

The metric system, like soccer, has been poised to take off here in the colonies for 3 decades or more. Only place it has made inroads outside a medical setting is the liquor business, where the Feds rammed it down our throats. No one complained tho as a fifth is almost exactly 750 ml., & a liter is a bit larger than a quart (hic).Beer stayed the same, ounces.

Or as Grandpa Simpson put it, 'My car gets 82 miles to the hogshead of gas, & that's how I likes it!'
