Hey ozzie, did you realize that the American Congress authorized the
use of the metric system in 1866? Or that the SI system became our
official standard for weights & measures when the United States signed
the original international Metric Treaty in 1875?

America uses a mix of traditional and SI units because Congress
provided no funds for conversion nor penalties for failing to do so and
indicated how little importance they placed on the matter by exempting
themselves and their functions (such as the Library of Congress) from
any legal requirement to observe the metric standards.

So I guess the answer to the first part of your question is, yes. And
since we seem to have gotten the message about a hundred years before
you did, the answer to the second appears to be moot. But perhaps the
most important part of this exchange has to do with the fact DeltaCAD
works equally well with meters or inches. And we were talking about
CAD software instead of how many kangaroo hops there are in a nautical
mile :-)
