'stead of "Month/Day/Year", Centigrade 'stead of Farenheit, etc.?? Aha. Next time you travel abroad, take a look at the lower right-hand part of Form 6059B ("Customs Declaration Form"); you'll see the date format has changed! Down here, they're already
measuring distances in "km" (i.e. in road signs), not miles---though the weather people still tell temperatures in "Farenheit", and most people speak about "miles" and not kilometers. So I went ahead & took a Metric System course, just in case! So, one of these days, a
Canadian may say about our posts..."Just wanted to point out that he's a USC, so nobody starts tripping about the 75 degrees"...

no offense to americans but generally a lot of you can not even do fractions correctly... it makes no sense to use the standard system.
just use metric and simplify everything!
