One of the mars landers, as I recall the issue was nasa uses metric and the contractor (lockheed?) use english.
Sounds like you are trying to use language to change other people rather than yourself, not sure that's a good idea. It at least raises issues of consentuality.
Ever heard of E-prime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime)? The changes that it is supposed to evoke seem to be things I'd like to develop in myself.
