because the metric system doesn't make sense to us.

imagine though all the jobs that could be created by doing the conversion. Road signs, gas pumps, government documentation, etc

At least I took a couple of years of Latin....

I mean we have to be close with E Plurubus Eunum on our money

I would actually prefer that we remove people who were not competent in either British or Metric from the gene pool.
