Thank you! I also remember about that metric system. And also have a refrigerator magnet with measurements that I use for the metric equivalent too.
I remember them saying the whole world is converting to the metric system you have to learn it...well I think every other country in the world except the US is fully metric and why didn't we convert I think its easier everything is based on 10...but then why would we here in the US want to do things a little easier....

I got to thinking that sometimes a knob of butter and a glug of olive oil is easier than 5 ml of oil.

An additional comment on the "English" measurement system: NASA stubbornly refused to completely accept metrics, so in 1999 they lost the $125 million Mars Orbitor when it flew too close to the planet's surface. Two interlinked systems controlling the speed and altitude were constructed by different contractors, one using kilometers while the other employed miles. The machine came within 60 kilometers (36 miles) far too close and was sucked in by gravity. Then it was revealed that NASA continued to deploy both metric and English systems, including on the International Space Station, although they finally decided to focus only on metric for the future shared lunar surface habitat because the Russian wrenches could not be used for any repairs of leaky air locks. Apparently the National Rifle Association has trained agents for the protection of our "Miles Are American!" promoters.
