Refresh my memory. When was it that they tried to introduce the U.S. to the metric system. I remember them telling us in school when I was a kid that we needed to learn it because within 10 years or so it would completely replace our system.

The early 70's is when the school I attended put into practice that claim, we in the US would be going metric.

LOL, My only real experience with the metric system back in the 70's was, getting my knuckles rapped by my 8th grade math teacher, with a wooden meter stick.
