There have been a few false positives, but that has been rare.

Yup, but the laws of stadards & measures are Imperial based (MPH, gallons, etc; milk in pints & quarts; cream in cups(or half-pints?) or pints. . . In weather, your rain is reported in inches (kind of a big unit when often you're measuring 0.01/inch, which doesn't translate well to 1/16s. . . > I hardly ever see RC Cola or 7-up anymore.

It was & so is our generation. It'd be simpler if people could wait until marriage, as you have to be an adult to get married. My adult step-daughter wanmts her mom & me to evaluate any future wooers, because she knows we've lived a long time(longer than her) & know the red flags that she has no clue about. . .
