| No, because everyone in the US already learned it our way. It would be too much work to convert now. It would be a long process that would take years. And all the people living today wouldnt be able to learn the metric system |

| Fixing the "damage done" would take too long and be way too much trouble for what it's worth. |

| We and England are the only idiots in the entire world that decide not to use metric units. Which I hate, because EVERY SINGLE THING I do in life needs metric, while I learned freakin' EMPERICAL UNITS. |

| Good luck changing the system, it would take millions of dollars to switch and would be followed by mass chaos afterwards. I'm pretty sure when we change 70mph to 110kph people will still think 110mph England uses the metric system |
