Oh my gosh! I never knew that my little post would do so much.
I am sory so many people took it the wrong way. I was just trying to make a constructive criticism, the kind I really like to recieve about my own stories. Maybe I didn't phrase it well or something -- I am often awkward with words and rarely say exactly what I mean.
Maybe I was in the wrong because I do have a sensitivity about Americans and the metric system. It is something that I hear about every day and is something I notice almost everywhere.
I still think that this was a valid reason to be offended, but I am sorry to offend anyone by any of my comments. This is an issue that I feel strongly about, and I am not thin-skinned.
I am very sorry for hurting anyone's feelings and very sorry for anything I may have started. Next time I will just say nothing.
I am very sorry.
