"When I go shopping, I know that the 1000 cubic millimetre litre contains 1 kilogravre of distilled water."
Wonderful to hear you are still keeping the 200 year old Martin Steam Automobile going with copious amounts of distilled water, that you constantly go out shopping for.
Unfortunately I have a very disappointing report that I will have to send to you. It records the deplorable fact that mankind has not evolved over the past 200 years as you and your sidekicks predicted.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, Martin, I know, I know. But mankind is still refusing to subsist on distilled water alone.
In fact you will be horrified to discover that several human being have been filmed on secret cameras, sneaking into criminal premises called "grocery stores" and purchasing food & drink for consumption by themselves and their felonious accomplices.
Needless to say, such felons & misdemeanants are continuing to use:
28.800 cu.in. fl.pt. for 1 av.lb. of drink
&
33.600 cu.in. dry pt. for 1 av.lb. of food
Oh, I forgot to ask you last time. Your beloved Imperial & Royal Majesty Emperor Napoleon forced at gunpoint all of the Emperor's Republic of Europe to use the:
1000 cubic millimetre explicit litre for 1 kilogravre of distilled water
But when Emperor Napoleon was informed that there was no:
1041 2/3 cubic millimetre fluid litre for 1 kilogravre of drink
&
1215 5/18 cubic millimetre dry litre for 1 kilogravre of food
He exempted the Imperial European Army from the Napoleon Emperor's Republic of Europe Decadent Weights & Measures scheme, and the Army kept right on using fluid pints & dry pints, fluid quarts & dry quarts, fluid pottles & dry pottles, fluid gallons & dry gallons, and so forth.
Now why did he do that.
Martin, do you have any idea why the Imperial European Army was the only institution in the Emperor's Republic of Europe exempted from using the N.E.R.E. scheme.
Probably just a pettly little slip-up, that little exemption, the kind that always occurs in the fog of war. After all, all men are created exactly equal and men with guns in their hands are exactly more equal than others. I'll have to get a spin doctor to re-write that last sentence. But if you could just give an answer anyway, Martin.
If you are not familiar with the nere scheme stere, are, metre, heure, gravre, and litre, then see site:

"An army always marches on its' stomach."
I can't remember, who said that, Martin. Do you have a clue.
