English/Metric units

edit

Please don't change units of measurements regarding American companies to non-American units. See WP:UNITS#Units_of_measurement and WP:SPELLING. Thanks, OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Note: Before you add a similar comment again it would be worth taking note that Subway trades internationally, and seeing as the only countries which do not use the metric system are the US, Myanmar and Liberia, it would be worth quoting the units in measurements that the rest of the English-speaking world understands.
