Metric Conversion Forum

adapt the Metric System?? (beside a few scientists who probably wish the same thing...)

I am with you.  But there are too many christians here.  They like the number twelve.

if something works,why fixed

yesim used ot pints and quarts

I also wish the UK would use the Euro, but no one ever consults me about these issues.

I feel the same way, don't see why we had to be different.

Guess it would be cool, I'm sure members of the scientific community would rejoice. It does not really matter to me, we all know, or should know how to convert measurements, so does not make a difference to me, but not a bad idea.

Way back in the early 60's when I was in the fifth grade, our teacher told us that the United States was on the verge on switching to the metric system. Learning metrics was part of our math curriculum  Here we are almost 50 years later and it still hasn't happened!

Well u may be the only person in American who wishes it.  But u ain't alone by a long shot.  All of us here in Canada wish u guys would get rid of that crap measurement system u got forever.I mean the whole rest of the world uses metric and celsius...and some of those countries had to change too...like UK.It's a pain in the bum to convert that crap constantly.
