I agree,
we need to change over, rather than retaining these ridiculous measures.

Ironically, I work entirely in Metric, but I know how long a mile is, or how heavy a pound is, or the quantity of a pint. I know all these in terms of their metric equivalents, and how many of each makes up each of everything, in metric and imperial units and so on.

And yet ask any of these metric-rejecters how many yards in a mile, how many ounces in a pound, how many fluid ounces in a pint, or whatever, and most of them haven't got a clue.

I think they're afraid of understanding, because SI makes so much sense.
