Here in Orlando (FL), several traffic signs are already showing
distances in kilometers with miles in parenthesis.

All car's speedometer use both scales, and it is very difficult to find
an office supplier store selling school rulers just in inches, they are
all produced in inches and centimeters.

Scholars are learning that it is much easier to add 10 mm + 3 mm
resulting in 13 mm, rather then 1/2" + 1/16" = 9/16", and that an area
of 10 mm x 3 mm is just "30 sq.mm", or divided by 100, it is just 0.3
sq.cm, instead of 1/2" x 1/16" to be ... hmmm... how much? 1/32 sq.inch?

Questions:
If one liter of distilled water weights 1 kg, how much grams weights 200
ml?
If one gallon of distilled water weights 8.345 lb, how much ounces
weights a pinch?
If one liter has 10 cm^3 of water, how much grams weights 1 cm^3?
How much ounces weights 1 in^3 of the same water?

... electronic chips still being produced in standard system...
