Properly jaw-dropping moment this evening: an e-mail from my US publisher saying that "since it's a science book", they'll publish Blue Machine WITH METRIC UNITS. So I don't have to convert everything to foot pounds per square elephant. In YEARS of writing for the US, this is the first time I have ever had a hint that there is a world outside feet and inches. Progress! #Books#Metric#Science
@helenczerski wait, using Imperial is forced when writing a non-scientific book? Bizarre. Someone's too insecure about his system of measurements, lol. Here in Poland there's no such rule.
