OH NO! We can’t let them take away our sacred measurement cobbled-together-bits-and-pieces-based-on-whims-and-ego-not-really-a-system system!
When I was a kid they told us the US would be metric by 1978.
I agree with her. The metric system is horrible! It measures everything in quarter-inches, yards or 1/2 miles. The numbers are huge and unwieldly. It’s a terrible system of measurement and of course it was inflicted on us by the French.
