Metric versus imperial: Reg readers weigh in

Thumb Up

s/pint/litre/g

While we are writing the rules... For beer, why don't we have conversion round up to a litre, now all of you pint punters would end up with a proper ONE in your mugs. Still complaining?

If its too much you can always ask for a half( or maybe a 9/16ths;)) like my wife does with pints.

Seriously... Why resist such a logical system as Metric.

And why hate on the French? I imagine adoption of arabic numerals faced similar obstacles... I'm there are more than a XII people here that agree.
