It's England's system. Blame them, not us.

America doesn't like change, if you haven't noticed. Most areas of the country vote Republican. The 2008 election was an exception.

I hate customary units. Inches are only useful for the thickness of a nice, juicy, succulent, tasty steak.

Oh come on. Don't bring politics into this.

Anyhow, metric is by far way easier. Although I don't like not having an intermediate between cm and m.

I like how I was the first one to start units of measurement when I said that 1 mile = 1.609344 or something like that.

Well, the reason we don't change to metrics is because we'd have a bunch of products that would suddenly become obsolete.

Luddites are funny folks.

I actually only use inches to measure height. I haven't completely gotten the feel for centimetres. I blame all that time I spent in America and the Philippines.

There are decimetres (10 cm = 1 dm) but what kind of arse would want to use those everyday? No one does. I'm pretty fine with that though.

The point is, no matter how easy a measurement system may be, America isn't going to change it's measuring ways. We are a stubborn folk, but it keeps us unique in some ways.

You are unique, just like everyone else.

No one hears of centilitres either.

Well if you live in Canada (well at-least me) you have to learn all of those.

Well is that unique always good? lol anyways that's not the point. It is true that Americans will always be the most stubborn and stereotypical people ever. Don't we just love them?

Also. Fahrenheit sucks. Like really. Celsius is a lot better and more practical. 0 should always be the freezing point.
