Re: The Metric System
Back in Elementary school, my class was told the metric system would be standard by the time I graduated (2003). However, I was also told they said the same thing to the graduating senior class when they were my age.
We haven't switched over because nobody's told us we have to. Until there are government mandates for the changes it will never happen. Working at the Mayo Clinic, I used the metric system on a daily basis. It's dead simple.
I have no idea why we aren't more accommodating aside from a superiority complex that stems from ignorance.
