See, that's how it starts. Oh well I guess, it really can't hurt in parenthesis.... writing the parenthesis is such a pain I'll just leave them out..... Oh, that's too confusing.... hell, I'll just leave the Fahrenheit off.
That's the slippery slope that predicates the total destruction of truth justice & the American way.

No, wait that was Bush.... never mind.

But I use Fahrenheit. I think in Fahrenheit. I write in Fahrenheit. Why should I stop and find a conversion table to translate Fahrenheit into Centigrade (Celsius) every time I write a temperature? Do I have to post the Kelvin numbers too? And what about all the other units of measurement?.... distance?... weight?... volume?

And every time I write bathroom I have to add loo?.. and water closet?.. and toilet? How about french and Spanish subtitles? Oh, Portuguese and Chinese too?
I guess I'll have to add American when I talk about football, yes?
