[Elecraft] Way OT - The Metric System is Inevitable

[Dauer, Edward]

Three of the more important aspects of my life already are metric -
healthcare (dosages are are almost universally in mg/l and many infusions
are calculated in mg per meter of body surface squared); bicycling (even
American-made frames use hex bolts measured in mm); and wine (a quarto is
250 ml, a bottle is 750 ml).  The other stuff, like engineering, will
eventually catch up.  On the other hand, the legal system is still rather
British.
