According to another report by ProSales California now requires Lowes to use the "inch-pound unit," meaning they must include abbreviations such as "in., ft., or yd.," and can't use symbols like ' or '' to denote measurements.

Why stop there? They need to go further:

1)Spell out the words such as 'inches' and 'feet' because 'in' and 'in.' can be confused by some

2)Require that units of measurements be written in several different languages

3)Have a poster explaining the difference between "feet" what you put your shoes on is different than "feet" as a unit of measurement. (Same with the word 'yard')

Do I need to put a /sarc tag on?

My shod feet are 12 inches each. I can’t help it if your feet are improperly sized.

You forgot that all printing must be in upper and lower case. Can’t believe you missed that one.

The size should also be burnished into all four sides every ten inches in40 point font.
