EXcuse me-
The only country that doesn't oficially use the Metric system is the
USA, along with two tiny ones whose names don't come to mind.   And
look what not using it cost the Nasa space programme!

I like the term "badvertising" seen in this months mag.   Postings
like these come firmly into that category when seen by outsiders.
