:'''Support deprecation''' Well, this discussion is going nowhere at record speed. However, I will dip my toe in the shark-infested waters here and hope I don't get [[WP:BITE|bitten]]. So, why do I support deprecation of the IEC unit system? Simple: the system is not used. It's not even used by a significant minority. The only reason I started reading this debate in the first place is because I wanted to find out what IEC units were. I've never heard of them before. And, judging by most of the comments above, very few people outside of this discussion have. I respectfully submit that we have a fundamental responsibility to provide articles in the way that is clearly understood by our readers. It is our responsibility to write '''''about''''' the world. It is '''''not''''' our responsibility to '''''change''''' the world.--[[User:Aervanath|Aervanath]] [[User talk:Aervanath|lives]] [[Special:Contributions/Aervanath|in]] '''''<font color="green">[[WP:O|the Orphanage]]</font>''''' 04:52, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
