But in a HS physics class or a college physics class for physicists,
chemists, and/or engineers, I think it a disservice to use calories no
matter how convenient or entertaining -- "because it is the way we have
always said it". As you allude above there are too many things we do because
"it is the way we have always done it". At some point we WILL be using the
SI -- Don't we have some modicum of obligation to proselyte it? For
example, it is not too painful to refer to room temperature in oC (or even
K) is it?
