The most oft cited advantage of the metric system is its conversion factor of 10, but the real advantage is conformity. Before the metric system, every country had its own special snowflake system. Europe had 30 different systems, some of which varied widely even within national borders. Imagine not being able to travel without getting cheated every time you buy a stick of butter because you never really know how much you're buying. America isn't an island. It's time we got on the same page as the rest of the world.

I've read somewhere that conversion errors for things ranging from refueling planes to shipping items accounts for like billions of dollars in losess.
That being said, fuck the metric system it's gay as fuck.
America is #1 super power in the world. They don't need to change, the rest of us should.
