Wonder if that's accurate, about the drive for all metric, I'm old enough did I remember Jimmy Carter try to convert US to metric, I really wish it would have happened because now we're stuck with half and half.... metric makes so much sense everything is divided by 10, in other words if you have a box that is 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm that is a thousand cubic centimeters, which is 1 Liter, which water weighs exactly 1 kg.
If we would have accepted the change back then..it would be old news by now.
Now we are stuck in the middle.
This comes from a guy that lived in Italy for 3 years when I was in my early teens.
