The metric system is an international decimalised system of measurement, first adopted by France in 1791.
After a long discussion with wikipedia today I decided I’m sick and tired of hearing how “the US is the only industrialized nation that does not mainly use the metric system in its commercial and standards activities”. So I went and made a rubygem to solve it. Or maybe I had a different goal, the jury is out after all, it being a weekend.
The Metric System ™ is most probably an attempt to generate simple, quick metrics without any fancy reporting, or other bits. It is currently in early alpha shape at version 2.3.4.
