Something wrong...
The "meter" has a "non-uniform but simetrical X-shaped form".
On the other side, it would be nice to know the history of feet and inches!
(I'm not from one of the "three countries"!)

An uphill battle
Well, we've faced uphill battles before as a nation, and surely can conquer the world with the clearly-superior feet and inches system.
An inch at a time, as it were.
