It isn't a matter of giving up, it a matter of applying the pressure where it will do the most good.
Writing letters to those who have no jurisdiction in the matter or who have been pressured to revert are going to ignore the letters written by metric zealots who have no faces. To do the most good, our side needs to undo the anti-metric provision in TEA-21 and make metric usage mandatory at all levels of highway construction. But I highly doubt our side will do the right thing only just complain about the continuous reversions.
