Americans use the US Customary Units because they have to. You can't be asking your butcher to give you 1.2 kg of ground beef. I would love too, I love the metric system, because 10 is a great number to base things off of, not 4 or 32 or 212 or 8.

Didn't they try to change it in America before? It probably failed because most Americans probably just don't care. It makes sense to us, go have fun with your "metric" rulers. :)
