> In Canada, a lot of business like grocery stores list both units on their signs. I don't see a problem with this method. In fact, if somebody wanted to legislate rules on the matter, I would think that this would be the way to go--make it so vendors must have metric on their signs, and if they wish, they may also have imperial.

Strangely that was suggested by a great many people. I would have been happy with a compromise like that, and I think that most people would have as well. This was even common practice before the law was changed.

It's all a plot by the Belgians to turn all of Europe into an exact replica of Belgium, I think. Next they'll make it illegal to put any condiment on chips except mayonnaise.
