Caulfield: Sorry I didn't finish my book report. Mrs. Olsen: It's not die until monday. Caulfield: I know. But I've got better things to do with my weekend. Apologizing in advance sounds too much like asking for permission. Frazz: Sorry to hear that.

JudyAz: It’s the “branch plant syndrome”, a Canadian attitude that they can’t do for themselves except under US (or occasionally UK) instruction..I had fun with this during metrication in the ’70s. Canada used imperial measures (an imperial gallon equaled five US quarts), but groceries might be in either system. Metric added a third one, and with anything new, there was opposition. When I heard this objection, I would suggest that first we should get a common quart, somewhere between the US and imperial sizes. This was always greeted with full approval. Then I said it could be called a litre. Sputters resulted.
