Exactly. Vote Leave to get rid of all those non-British units like the Kelvin, Joule and the Watt, and keep all those honest British units like the livre, the denarius (as in Lsd), the uncio, the milia and degrees Fahrenheit.
At one time British scientists were so resolutely non-nationalistic that when new elements were discovered they got names like Argon, Neon, Krypton, Natrium (sodium) and Kalium (potassium.) We left it up to foreigners and their quaint nationalism to come up with names like Lutetium, Ytterbium (and Terbium, Erbium and Thulium), Americium, Germanium.
How are the once mighty fallen.
