Hello Bj”rn,

 WH>> But let's ask this.  Must the population change their units because
 WH>> pilots might get things wrong?  I'd think the pilots should change join
 WH>> the standard and let people drink their pint of beer.

 BF> Good point. No, it's no longer a matter of life and death -- most people
 BF> that matters know perfectly well that the US struggles to maintain their
 BF> own measures.

The USA is well ahead of the rest of the world when it comes
to COVID-19 deaths. Both in number of cases, and number of deaths.

 BF> Nowadays it's much more a matter of global communications in the social
 BF> community. Take for instance Youtube videos about cooking. When the
 BF> "recipe" calls for Fahrenheit, Cups, Pounds, Ounces and whatever, it
 BF> addresses less than 4% of the world -- and most of the up-loaders aren't
 BF> even aware of this? They think that they are using global units?

Global units. What are global units? The imperial system is used
throughout the world. The metric system is also used throughout the
world. There are also other systems that are used throughout the
world. So what makes a system truly global?

Everybody uses their hand. Including when cooking food. So why
not use your hands as global units for measurement? Isn't that what
mankind has been doing since he has walked this earth?

 BF> The Imperial System is the one thing that divides USA from the rest of the
 BF> world. Ask yourself, who benefits from this? Follow the dollar...

Uss your hand! The one and only truly international measurement
system there is! Okay, fingers can also be of great help ...
