Talking to my mom tonight, she mentioned that I was arguing for the metric system when I was ten. Which would be super cool if I was particularly good at thinking in it by now, but I'm not. I have mass, length and temperature down pretty well. I'm much weaker on volume, speed and pressure. Curse the US Congress for not mandating a switch in the 70s like they promised! One of the few powers explicitly granted to them by the Consitution, and all they've managed to do is a toothless 1988 proclamation that metric is the "preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce". Bah.
