We are getting close to the date set for a vote on the matter. Kilograms and whatnot are being considered for redefinition.

"It is expected that the formal vote, scheduled for 16 November 2018, will be approved and that the new definitions will come into force on 20 May 2019."

It doesn't mean anything for USAmericans. They have no idea what kilograms or meters mean. Most USAmericans think the SI system is a communist plot Bernie Sanders is using to subvert Christian values.

Litres are a conspiracy to raise the price of fuel

If you devalue the kilogram by just printing more kilograms then everything gets lighter, right?
