It'd be easier if they started teaching it to kids along with the imperial one and making things easier for older people to use them
Cause it's really annoying when I see a delicious looking recipe and they use grams instead of like cups
A lot of things already use both metric and imperial. Just start adding metric to everything (not replacing imperial), and then slowly phase out the imperial over several years.
it would be extremely hard I mean construction, cooking, (any blue collar job) would change considerably and not to mention getting every single school in the U.S. to convert to teaching metric. I just dont know if americans care enough and if it would really be worth it. Do you really think construction companies would pay to change all their measurements just to fit in with the rest of the world I wouldnt.
We already have. It was passed into law decades ago - which is my physics teachers favorite joke was: How many Americans does it take to change a light bulb. Answer: What do you mean by change?
Side note. He was also gay, so that joke had multiple connotations.
Okay but just think about this. For us to all convert to the metric system, that would mean that we would have to take up all the mile markers on all the sides of the highways, and replace them with kilometer markers, while we already have a system that works right now. We'd have to go through and replace every textbook that taught us a certain way. We would have to make it so that everyone would change the way that they've thought before now. And we'd have to change all the other signs, things on the back of food, almost every label that we have. It's just gonna cost so much and take so long I'm honestly not sure that it would be worth it
I honestly don't know. I just think that this might possibly be a waste of money, just so that some people can be happy with it. If you really enjoy using the metric system that much, then by all means go for it. I've never been a fan of it myself, I'm not sure why but anyways, I think that it's fine the way it is, and that it's probably not on the top of the list for "Most important things to change" in the presidents mind, or in the mind of most of the people.
