Yeah, the problem isn’t getting Americans to use metric. It’s getting them to stop using everything else.

For some reason, English derived cultures have this incredibly conservative streak. Like the language lugs around letters that no one has pronounced in centuries. Maybe it comes from stare decisis. You start doing this differently, and it’s all Mad Max from there.
