We Americans have certainly changed in the last 45 years. At that time we knew enough math to put a man on the moon. Now we can’t use the metric system.
Tom Lehrer had a song called, New Math. Hooray for new math. New math. It won’t do you a bit to review math. It’s so easy, so very easy. That only a child can do it!

Actually Winslow, you’re a liberal, but that doesn’t add up either.

There are only three countries in the world not using the metric system; Liberia, Myanmar and…….. the USA!! Nice club to belong to!
