I just love how people seem to think the US doesn't use metric at all. Science, mechanics, medicine, even some stuff in the supermarkets. Look at your prescriptions. Metric. The US is not isolated, it deals with the rest of the world, it does business with the rest of the world. Get into the present century FFS.
As a guy who studied chemistry and engineering.. I can convert back and forth between both systems in my head.
It makes me laugh to myself when I see these people whining and complaining, and can't even use the other systems. Most Americans know how to use both, but in our daily lives we use our system. When we do anything scientific, it is in metric.
Oh well, let the ignorance go on from the complainers. It only makes me laugh.
Why, if you wanna go metric don't be half-arsed about it, km is superior to miles. Get over your historical disdain for the French .
