The sciences use metric simply because it's ten times easier to do calculations.
The general public resists it because miles/inches/Fehrenheit/pounds/ounces are beloved to americans and helps distinguish us from the Canadians and the one-world-order Big Brother types in the EU. They have outlawed imperial weights and measures in England , and shopkeepers are imprisoned for selling wares by the pound. That type of thing will not go over in the United States, nor should it.
Thanks.

Never, in less than 230 years they have bastardised the English language, they would do the same with the metric system due to their lack of intelligence.
