It would be wonderful if Wikipedia converted completely to the metric system, or perhaps [[SI]] ("the most widely used system of units"). Perhaps units should be referred to the Countering Systemic Bias Wikiproject.
It isn't Systemic Bias and most of the articles seem to be drifting in the direction of SI anyway.
Since this seems to be favoring the majority Systeme Internationale against minority systems such as Foot-pound-second, shouldn't we still refer this to Countering Systemic Bias? :)
I was writing more in jest than in seriousness. I'm mostly just a little frustrated as an Australian having to constantly convert from pounds to kilometres, or from miles to kilometres whenever I read an American source (and since it is mostly America who resists the metric system, this probably is systemic bias).
