Yeah don't! Metric system makes no sense...
As opposed to the imperial system which makes total and perfect sense as explained so perfectly by Matt Parker: Youtu.be
Even though the scale is the same, the SI unit for temperature is ºK, not ºC (and if we're picky, the base unit for distance is m, not cm; and the base unit for velocity is m/s, not km/h). Also it's called System International, not "metric".
True... but you can really easily convert between those with just an easy addition or a simple scalar.
well the USA would have adopted the Metric system a lot earlier but In 1793, Thomas Jefferson requested artifacts from France that could be used to adopt the metric system in the United States, and Joseph Dombey was sent from France with a standard kilogram. Before reaching the United States, Dombey's ship was blown off course by a storm and captured by pirates, and he died in captivity on Montserrat.
so pirates are the reason USA doesn't use metric system?
