1. i like standardization

but, i also like the metric system, 24 hour clock, and parliamentary democracy and none of that will be here any time soon.

2. That would sure save a lot of waste and aggravation!

But you're right, too many factions here would have to agree.

5. Definitely no to metrics. Yes to 24 hour clock

7. reminds me of a line from "the good the bad and the ugly"

"blondie, there are 2 kinds of countries in the world. those who use the metric system, and those who have been to the moon."

but that was long ago .....

3. Sloppy journalism.

Talking about "chargers" all the time, while the real topic is the cable plug/device socket interconnect.
