Okay, I will place my head on the chopping block on this one. I am a
little confused here, maybe because I have not had enough coffee this
morning, but I always understood that "English" and "metric" were the
same and that America uses the "Standard" system. Granted, I will state
that I have NOT heard the metric system termed the English system that
often, but up until this thread, I have never heard the Standard system
referred to as the English system. Is there something I am missing on
this August morning?
