We're in Central American, we speak Spanish. If any of us learn English, chances are we learn it the American way. Which is why the IBWM recognizes things. We recognize, civilize, atomize, etc etc. I've never organised or recognised in my life. Be real for once.
You're forgetting that Calaverde has a native English-speaking population. And Belize begs to differ.
And is this type of stuff falling under your department? And if not, does this mean I can draft a bill about any subject and give it government support?
I'm Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister. The PMO is a catch-all department. And either way, you still need Beta's approval.

Metric should be the primary system used and should be the focus, but other units should be taught at some point as well as conversion between units. Their usage in historical documents and the ability to converse with those more familiar with the other model is important.
Why would we teach unit conversion? No one uses the Imperial system in South and Central America. The only people that would use imperial units in conversation would be American (to a lesser extent, Canadian and British) tourists. The tourism industry can teach its own employees to ride the retarded arbitrary rollercoaster.
