I don't have a problem with whichever measurement system you use. Personally, I'm happy as long as no-one tries to simplify our language *cough*Americans*cough*.

But please don't regard me as a lower life form because I prefer litres, centimetres, and degrees Celcius - I'll still be using miles, both statue and nautical for a while though. ;)

Of course they may try to ban Nautical Miles because some Europeans may be confused between nm (nanometres) and nm (nautical miles) :-P.
