Didn't you take any science classes in high school or college? To be honest, in the US, you do need to know both.

half truth. depends on the field. |
Not really, just some fields use it more than others. At some point in your life, though, most people need to learn both in America, although less so now that everyone has internet.

umm no. i can name a few fields that dont use it at all. IT, construction (with the exception of government jobs), furniture business just to name a few. |
I said "at some point in your life." Obviously you missed that school part, as well as the part about some fields using it more than others. It hasn't been that long since I was in school, but we learned both fairly early. In high school, unless you go to a vocational school, you do, at some point, have to learn the metric system.

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. |
its not the american system. You guys didnt invent it.
The actual name is british imperial system and even they dont use it anymore!!! Its time for the US to switch. And its also time for americans to accept dollar coins!

Yeah, we can definitely afford to just drop everything and change every sign, label, etc. in the country with absolutely no problem.
We're actually planning on doing it this Saturday afternoon along with the rest of our chores.
It's a nice little Saturday we've got planned here. |
we did it back in 1978 no problem.. Why cant you?
And per capita it cost just as much as it would you
