Manage episode 353730319 series 3405437
Everybody has heard the Americans don't have the metric system. Like a lot of things we've heard, it's not totally true, and to the extent that it is true, there's a story behind it.
Part one introduces the thoughts behind the metric system from the perspective of someone puzzled that everyone thinks we still use hogsheads and firkins.
Just like us - you're not all metric either. And just like you, we're as metric as we need to be.
Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.
