Good luck. People are dug in on this one. And our stupid system of measures costs us so much economically too, but they don't care. 🙄

Who cares who uses it? The US should keep what they have.

Hear, hear! Who the hell could be against base 10?

I heard that the reason you didn't move from mph to kmph was a cost thing, changing all the road signs. IDK. Metric makes sense and the math easier. Do you still use chains and links in linear measurement?

When I was a child, we were taught metric system in school and told we had to learn it because soon everyone would be using that method. That never happened.

They already made plans to do precisely that decades ago but the luddites held sway and scuppered any chance of them ever doing it.

our academics already use it, I don't see how changing the average standard is a benefit after knowing that

Nah, I think standard is better. You can cleanly divide 12 by 2 and 3.
