Fittisize, you need to download the song "The Metric System" by Atom and his Package. From the posts you've made, you'll probably be cheering the whole way through.
Sure, the Metric System is easy to use and remember, but it's just like trying to teach an entire nation to speak a different lagnuage. It'd be a tremendous challenge that would take decades and billions of dollars to implement, to replace a system that works perfectly fine as it is.
Ryan pointed out the issue of road signs. That is but a fraction of the costly changes that would need to be made to switch.
I'm also glad that Ryans lack of class has been recognized by the government :).
