I'm just showing you the holes in your logic. And, you know, logic tends to be implacable.

That's commendable, but not enough, I'm afraid.


--- Quote ---Again, you’re redefining “being metric” as being “metric-only”, which a) is a different question, and b) is unattainable anyway.

No. To be metric is not to see a generalized use of any other system of units but metric, and to see the deprecation of not metric units. You're half Schwiizer, you know what I'm talking about.

You don't even understand logic. Here's an idea. Wait a week. Then post your BS again, and hopefully get a new audience. Like you've been doing for the last 3 months.

Who died and left you boss?  News flash - it's enough for US.  You may not like it, but (and I hate to burst your condescending bubble) - we don't give a rat's ass.

In your opinion.  That's cool, we're not metric enough for your standards.  We don't feel the need to abide by your standards.  And as has been repeatedly pointed out, we are metric where being metric MAKES SENSE TO US.

You've been asked several times now in what country you reside, but like our explanations of the metrification or lack thereof of the US, you seem to keep missing it.  Since you keep asking the same question over and over again, it's our turn now - where do you live, Mr. Metric System?  Or will you ignore THIS again, too?

Not enough for whom? One internet troll’s opinion certainly isn’t reason enough for a country to spend billions to literally retool its entire economy.

I’m not half Swiss, I don’t have one drop of Swiss blood. But let’s ignore that and pretend I am. So you’re saying the Swiss understand the value in doing what everyone else has standardized on? Like how the Swiss got rid of the Franc and adopted the Euro, gave up their own mains AC plug design in favor of Schuko, and replaced their silly proprietary Swiss German in favor of standard German? Oh wait...
