I have been hearing the US will convert to the metric system since I was a small child. I don't think it will be in my life time. I think we are all creatures of habit. As long as we teach our units of measure and people continue to use them, we will never go metric.

We tried it a few times and each time Americans didnt like it. But we do use the metric system for science and our cars have a metric option

I don't know, but it's embarrassing to be the only country in the world that doesn't use it. I feel that all it does is increase the language barrier, but perhaps this is the purpose for our own system. To make America establish itself as a new nation, we create exclusive measurements necessary for every day life. We don't want those americans going out into the scary world of real measurement!

Probably when Hell freezes over. It's our thing, like driving on the right side of the road.
