> I noticed that some of your public information is still using the obsolete English system of units. It is about time to drop the English units entirely, at least for all science and engineering. Americans are quite ready for exclusive use of metric units. It is a myth that we can't make the transition. Dual units are no good and just make it more confusing. Let's go all the way and get it over with. I want my 3 year old grandson to have to learn only one system--metric.
Good luck! Since at least 90% of the US uses the "english system of units", I would say it's not "obsolete". Besides, the more your grandson learns, the better off he will be --don't censor his learning!
