Too late, would confuse too many people. I've never understood the American system, doesn't make any sense. At least the metric system goes by 10's so it's easy to convert.
I recall hearing about how NASA fucked up a satellite's course and sent it into the sun or something because some moron converted metric to american wrong.

I like metric measurements for volume and length. Grams suck though, because 1 gram is too small a base unit. A pox upon grams.

I don't really care. The only problem with that, however, would not only be convincing the country to implement it, but to educate them and change every single label and sign in the country.
It would cost an incredible amount of money to actually implement any sort of change.
