what's up with the "grams" thing??

I think the U.S. is the last country in the world using Imperial measurement. I've never understood Imperial - it's just so random that it's confusing.

Metric is so easy and so sensible as everything is based on units of 10. Maybe one fine day the States will get up to speed with the rest of the world, which by the way will be measured in Kilometres

Actually speed will be measured in kph or kilometers per hour. A lilometer is a measurement of distance.

When I was a kid we learned both Imperial and metric because, at the time, the US was supposedly getting ready to go metric. Somehow it never happened and I'm not sure. I'm more comfortable with Imperial just from it being everywhere but I agree that metric makes more sense.
