I may like my scales in millimeters, but don't you dare mess with my beer! Del-- Is that an Imperial pint or a US pint? I would rather have 1/2 a litre than a US pint (16 oz), but rather and Imperial pint (20 oz) than 1/2 a litre. Not to mention that the ounces are even slightly different sizes between the two systems--those of us who started school before the changeover in Canada grew up with Imperial measures, but for obvious reasons we had to be familiar with the differences between the American system and ours. Just another good reason for everyone to use the same system, and all in all, I am happier in the metric system, although I am equally comfortable in either.
