I was funnin with a guy who lives 20 miles from my house. In the 'big' city of Richmond, VA.

I am quite capable of converting SAE to metric. Hell, I can even convert Centigrade to Kelvin. Hold several degrees, none of them liberal arts, so I have on occasion been exposed to the 'International Standard' system.

Now, take it as a joke or not. Don't care, Junior.

Sorry. I've come across a strong strain of parochialism on these threads when it comes to the use of the International System. There is evidently some branch of conservatism that believes it is somehow "un-American" to work with the metric system. I'm expecting someone one day to propose scrapping all modern measuring systems because they are "anti-Biblical" and proposing we go back to cubits and talents.
