And it should be illegal in this country. It's my God given right to use a obscure, convoluted, archaic system of measurement. I think we should amend the constitution. It's probably even contributing to Covid and global warming!

Yes, so except for the USA, Napoleon in the end did conquer the world. He was a Jackwagon!

they had us learn it in jr hi school in the 70's saying the US was gona be converting to it in the next 10 yrs..........yea, right!
BUT, since I deal with blueprints that are often metric, I have easy time converting, compared to other techs. Yea, I remember that farce in school. It's all Jimmy Carters fault. The lasting contribution of a moron.

We should have converted back in 1980.
"The Metric Conversion Act is an Act of Congress that U.S. President Gerald Ford signed into law on December 23, 1975."

The metric system is for the feeble minded who can't count to sixteen. What do foreigners do after table saw accidents when they can only count to nine? I think they blame the French?

He missed by just a fraction. We wouldn't need fractions if we had millimeters.
