Fine. WTF does it mean?
It's a large glass (1 1/2 pints IIRC).

in Australia a schooner is a US pint (425mL?) and only served in the Eastern States because the blokes over there are a little soft.
Almost correct, beer glass sizes in Australia and N.Z. are generally smaller than other countries, I believe this is related to (as I said above) the belief that the beer will go warm in the hot climate but it is also related to the 'Six O'Clock Swill'.
Old people, stubborn, etc. They tried to in the 70s IIRC. People hated it.

The only thing that would be better than switching to the metric system would be if we could switch to a base 8 or base 12 numbering system and then use the equivalent of the metric system. Base 10 sucks.
Metric is better for precise math, but the Imperial system is way better to eyeball. It works on halves with is pretty convenient when you don't give a damn within 1/16" or so.
