Get what right?

First off, I'm 65 years old and the SI system is only 60 years old.  I'm
older so I go by my rules, not those of some folks who think naming a
recurring event after some old dead person is better.

Second, every radio I have germane to this group is calibrated in KC or MC
or their lower case counterparts.  Shall I paint over that and re-mark the
panels to suit what's in style now?  I don't think so and as long as they're
calibrated thus, I'm going to continue to use the older units.  When I'm
discussing newer equipment, I *may* use Hz (I'm fairly consistent in doing
so regarding computers.) or I may confuse everyone by sticking with MC and
KC.  

Third, do we talk about sun spot Hertz?  Do we re-Hertz?  Nope.  Let's be
consistent then and just rent cars & trucks from Hertz.

Fourth, this is NOT a personal attack, it is one on a system gone stupid.
Change for the sake of change is not good and that's all using Hz in place
of cps is - change for the sake of change.  

And finally, anyone incapable of handling this is more than welcome to note
the mistletoe hanging from my shirt tail.

Best regards,
