[Rq-rules] Conversions and origins

[Paul Cardwell]

Legally, but not in practice, the US has always been
metric.  The US variants of imperial are all defined
in metric terms.  This is largely because of a couple
of scientists named Franklin and Jefferson, who
supported the use of the more logical metric.
