Good lord, you have no idea how happy I would be if the US adopted the metric scale. The English system is a pain for conversions, it's convoluted, and nobody else uses it. Unfortunately, in many industries here (like the aerospace industry), so many things are set up to be done in the English system, that it is unlikely to go away any time soon. |
Considering the English have mostly stopped using it should be proof enough it's outdated (Road signs in the UK still use Miles and yards though, and in most places both imperial and metric weights are given... it's taking an annoyingly long time to ween this country off imperial measure)
More annoying than the US using imperial though is that the US is the major source of influence on the internet, so it pollutes the rest of the world.
And holy shit at that lighthouse pic.
