LL> Global units. What are global units? The imperial system is used

 LL> world. So what makes a system truly global?

   Sorry to blast your bubble. No, your imperial system is *NOT* used
throughout the world. You are confusing "used" with "knowing about it but
shaking head and ignoring it".

   What makes the metric system truly global? The global standardization
committee of course! Duh! It's called the SI because of it's international
origin (not related to the oranges that your illiterate POTUS is talking about
over and over again, mind you).

   The International System of Units = the modern form of the metric system. In
all the schools around the world (except in one country) this is the system
that the next generations are taught.
