But when necessary they are given in metric
Same over here! So the problem has already been solved and we can all stop worrying about it!
I don't think so. When necessary, in the US units are also officially given in imperial, which, today, is just an odd way to count the SI units. As I showed in the previous post, imperial is not even consistent within itself.
As a curiosity, I roamed the net looking for cake recipes all over the world last night, and noted their ingredients.
