Just don't go to war with some Asian country for a month or so, that should do the trick.

But we're Am'rica, we need our patriatism.  There aint no patriatism in repaintin' signs!

Paint them red, white and blue.

I don't think that it's a big deal if you use imperial in daily life...heck, I'm Canadian and I use it all the time (buying fruit, measuring my mass, etc.) but in scientific disciplines, the metric (or SI, if you will) system of units should be used (and, as far as I know, it is the current standard).
