bartamos,
In looking for foolish facts about metric system in the US, I was surprised to find out that metric system standards/measures have been the USA fundamental standards/measures for "standardizing" weight/mass (ounces, lbs, etc) and length (inch, feet, miles, etc) in the USA since 1893. Somebody sneaked the metric system in here, but it wasn't the Commies.
Yeah, I was WAY off on the lack of Commies in the world.
