Don't call me that. I'm very much against the European Union, because I want Norway to be governed by the Norwegian people, not by a bunch of Germans and Polacs or whatever.

However, using "inches" and "feet" is just simply out of date. The de facto standard is the metric system. It's what people in most countries use (with a few exceptions). It's what ALL scientists use (incl. American ones).

And the de facto version of English is American English, because most people are exposed to English through American movies and series. Therefore I write "apologize". I do admit, however, that sometimes English is cool, too, like when I hear the Osbournes talk.

P.S: how is the situation in Hungary regarding EU membership? Are you invited? If so, will the people decide, or the politicians? When will that decision take place? What are you gonna vote?
