I know it's a zombie post but I'll pipe in and say - I could give two shits about the system we use here in the USA (though I vastly, vastly, VASTLY prefer using SI as USCS is quaint, arcane truly convoluted and ugly) but SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT AND PICK ONE FUCKING SYSTEM. I don't need to know that my bag of Lays Potato Zingers are 1.4196 oz (40g) or my 50 "lb" (what the fucks a LB? or the difference in an "FL OZ" or a damn "OZ") bag of Ol' Roy dog food is 22.676kg. Contrary to myth, Americans DO know (and visualize) the metric system. It's our fucked up government sitting on it's hands to finally, once and for all pass the legislation to make it happen - tho it will confuse the aging trilobytes who apparently make all our decisions for us so they can perpetuate some bygone era when granny used cups and teaspoons and DAMNIT THEY WORKED FOR HER, THEY'RE GOOD ENOUGH FOR US I still can't weigh a package and wrap my head around 2lbs and 13oz. So, US government - Stop this dual label shit please. And BTW, our "US Pint" is 473ml. This is ridiculous.
