    Im pretty good at all of it, but the celseaus and the bars just dont work so well for me...keylows sometimes work as well as my spelling. I used to know the metrick speedos vs mph pretty good after growing up in japan but....that was long ago and seems to of faded away. the liters...2 liter is a diet soda. do they make metrick messuring cups?? and if they do what are they called ??or are cups already metrick?

    Yes, measuring vessels are available in metric divisions. Labware is pretty much exclusive to it, cookware is dual marked, as are other items. Seems to depend on the end-user market.

    OK, so which came first, the cup, or the cup?
