Familiar with both systems.

As am I, and I'll keep using mils and millimeters, kilograms and pounds, etc.

But I'm confused why this is a big deal to the average Joe. I guess using the imperial system has become a symbol of American defiance against the rest of the world.

“I guess using the imperial system has become a symbol of American defiance against the rest of the world.”

Uh, that is what makes us real “’Muricans”, isn’t it?

I have no problem with that thinking! ;-)

I guess using the imperial system has become a symbol of American defiance against the rest of the world.

I guess you could say that it is a measure of American exceptional-ism.

I can never understand people who insist that Americans, owners of super power status, one time highest standards of living, outstanding achievements in medical, scientific, and industrial fields, so on and so forth, change the way they do things, so that we are like the rest of the world.

In the world I live in, the right and proper choice is to emulate success, not replace it with something not quite as good.
