Guess that'll make the US the only country in the world that is not metric
:). Glad to hear you were taught both systems in school Bruce. I remember
learning both in high school back in the '60s. But, I still think in
imperial measure (miles, feet, inches, acres, gallons etc.), then convert
to metric.
I wouldn't throw away your metric tools, I think we're all going to need
both sets for years to come.
