I don't know why so many Americans are against it, after all we set up a Metric money system with dollars and cents.
I think it's familiarity... I can look at a bolt head on a Chevy and know it needs a 7/16 wrench, but am less familiar with the metric fasteners on my Acura, so I take three wrenches to the car...
Believe it would be a good thing to go metric, but don't think we will ever muster the political will to do it...
Cheers!
