    The metric system is used very much in the U.S. by the sciences and mechanics and many others. It is just not used for “public” things such as road signs (most) sports lengths etc and various food and other labels.

    Living in Canada during metrication, I had fun with the resistance to it. I pointed out that US and Imperial measurements were side by side in grocery packaging and it might be a first step to get something between a US and Imperial quart. Everyone agreed. Then, I claimed, you could call it a litre. Everyone sputtered.
