Yeah - Keep your condescending terms of reference aimed at the right
people - the Yanks are EX-Colonials and We here in OZ are Soon-To-Be
EX-Colonials (and our head of state will still feel up the regency...
:-) ).
 I work in the fishing tackle supply biz and we are forced to use
imperial for dealing with our items simply because these are the terms
of reference most used internationally - despite our extensive
application of the metric system - games are like this I guess......
