A disclaimer for the Weinbaum game

[ffutures]

Something I think is worth mentioning in the front-page disclaimers:

This game uses a mixture of Imperial and US measurements, the metric system, and astronomical measures such as AU and light-minutes, as seems appropriate. While it would be nice to imagine a world that uses a standard measuring system, we all know that things really aren’t like that. This game is science fiction, not fantasy…

Dear Marcus L. Rowland,

Have you considered the cost of using dual measures?

My estimate is that it costs the USA more than 1.3 trillion dollars each year. The basis of my estimations are here: http://www.metricationmatters.com/docs/CostOfNonMetrication.pdf

I'm well aware of the situation, but I am not going to attempt to propagandise this issue in a role playing game.
