I agree, Stick with the fractions. But, alas, the deed is done, I believe the year was 1998 MAR, the United States officially made the change to the metric system. Funny though, only one state recognizes this change on their Interstate highway system. Another funny thing about metric measure, IT'S WRONG. You see when the system was divised it was supposed to be based on the circumference of the earth as measured at the Prime Meridian, i.e. 1 metre= 1/1,000,000th of the circumference of the earth, but the measurement was actually not accurate. The system was already set and in use when the tools necessary for an accurate measurement came to be, so why fix what is already broken, ehh. Of course you would need a microscope to measure the inaccuracy on the scale of a metre, but none the less it exists. So, that said, what makes you think us Yanks want anything to do with a game named after some annoying insect?
