Since December 31, 2012 - an online government petition has been created to officially converting to the Metric system instead of the Imperial system like rest of the world. It has close to 50,000 signatures already and is waiting for response from the government officials.
Last attempt doing so was in 1970s. Do you think there is a chance the U.S. will convert to the Metric system? Canada and Australia did in the 70s.
The metric system is too confusing, even though it's based on multiples of 10.
Yes, it's so much easier to remember that there are 12 inches in a foot, 5280 feet in a mile, 4 quarts in a gallon, 16 ounces in a pound, etc.
