    Janet, One of the first things I tell my students....'Get used to
    doing all your measurements in metric because I don't understand
    inches".  The latter is not really true but I find it soooo much
    easier to do small measurements in metric.  Anyway, before you know
    it, they are babbling away in metric.  We still use B&S gauge for
    thicknesses of wire and plate because when ordering, its either that
    or 100's of an inch from most suppliers.  Otherwise, its all metric. 
    Having lived all over the world most of my adult life, I find it so
    much easier.  I too which the US would stop messing around and make
    the switch! 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
