Mainly to Jesse: We need to stop thinking about the metric system
being the measuring tool exclusive to only certain professions like
science, medicine, or engineering. Nearly 95% of the world's
population uses it for daily use, like driving, cooking, home
construction, or body dimensions. The world may have adopted English
as the international language, but it will never adopt our crazy,
antiquated measures. I absolutely agree that going metric would boost
our image and make us look like we truly want to reach out to the
world, rather than dictating to it.
No matter how daunting of a project this may seem, we are the only
country that could pull it off on such a scale. So let's do it!
