Talk:Metric system

Almost anywhere there are Simple English Users, there is no need to talk about a "metric system". 1. that term is only used in English, it's SI officially. 2. it's the only units of measurement they will learn officially anyway.

To Americans US units of measurement are still the units learned first, so it's only them (not typically SE users) who are likely to refer to Metric System vs. "units"...

Here we should think in terms of SE and SI, period.

Especially since we're trying to provide a basis for translation.
