Dear Don Sinclair, St. Albert,
AB
Firstly, I'm glad to see someone else is using the AL
abbreviation correctly - you almost had me wondering whether all of my friends
in AB were actually getting their Christmas cards or some lucky soles in Alabama
were thinking that they were really popular.
I think you are missing the point. When I am
referring to the "Metric System", I mean the whole package of Canada using
"politically correct" metric and other abbreviations promoted in the early
1980's. Two examples are:
The word "metric" itself has two abbreviations m.t. or
M.T.
And Centigrade is C as well as Saskatchewan as SK and
Manitoba MB and so on. (All of these can be found in any English
dictionary.)
We also were not referring to the much needed social
assistance. I personally do not care about your personal political
standpoint. The suggestion was everyone should use their manners and be
polite - don't say anything to anyone else that you would not appreciate hearing
yourself.
You will have to find someone else to argue with from
now on, if you're going to be nasty, we don't want to play with you any
more.
Have a nice day!
C. Woodson
P.S. Hi Uncle Ken
