I just finished reading Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix. It's a harrowing read, and I feel much more educated on pregnancy and how unwed mothers were treated in the days before legal abortion. But one thing about the story kept niggling at me. It's set in Florida in 1969, and measurements were referred to in metric. As in, how many litres of blood in a human body, and how many centimeters a cervix is dilated.
Now, maybe it's different in the medical profession, but metric wasn't introduced in Canada until the 70s when I was a little kid. And as far as I know, Americans still haven't adopted the metric system for whatever reason.
Sooo... was this something the editors didn't catch, or am I wrong about metric not being used in 1969 Florida?
