    Don't worry Billy - he was just trying to give you guys a leg up into the 21st century.

    There are only 3 countries left in the world that still use the imperial system of measurement.

    USA is one of them.

    2 of the countries are 3rd world developing nations.
    Hmmmm - is USA one of them????
