As an 'older hold out' I am glad to see us not go metric.  But then I
can
act somewhat 'traditional' at the most awkward times... A touch of
anti-iconoclastic behavior?  Maybe. 

Nothing against metric, just see no reason to change the way we measure
things at home.  And yes, any company who can't do both should not be in
international trade.  But as for me an my house, we refer to metric in
relation to 'real measurements' like inches and miles.	(Janice and I
both used metric (along with drops and a million other incompatible
measurements when we were (she still is) working as nurses.  But the
bases for my figures are 3/4" x 3/4" not (approximately) 20mm x 20mm...
