"It makes no difference to me personally, but have you ever considered the overwhelmingly gargantuan task it would be to convert the legal description of every miniscule plot of land in America to the metric system? Our entire country has been surveyed based upon a 5280 foot mile.
Think about it!"
I know almost nothing about computer programming and I could write a small program that did exactly that, and I could write it in 15 minutes.

...and then all you would have to do is retrieve the exact metes and bounds legal description for every separate parcel of real estate in the United States and re-write all 100 Million or so descriptions based upon your formula. Once you had done that, all that would be left is to contact the holders of all interests of record for each parcel, obtain thier written concurrence and record a new description for each. Simple, actually.
