Here's the deal; where metric use is necessary as in science, the military and engineering, we use it same as everyone else. As for the rest, most people really don't care, so that's why we'll probably always have a mixed system. It's just not a big issue for most people, sorry to say.
We do use it where necessary; in science, engineering and the military, for example. Some of our imperial units suck, but others, like pounds and feet and inches are superior because they are more intuitive. The reality is that it's a non-issue for most people and because of that we will almost always have some version of a mixed system, as do most of the other Anglophone countries.
Tax all of them! What part about it do you not understand? Do we need to spell it out for you? WTF is wrong with you?
If that happens, it won't go down the way you or anyone else expects it to. Just saying.
I keep forgetting that there are people who still use cash.
Who's this "we?" In the US at least, conservatives are plowing full-speed ahead with outright denialism.
While what you say makes perfect sense and is logical, the truth is that anyone who has an ounce of intelligence can easily parse this information in a few seconds regardless of its format.
This is not an argument for maintaining the status quo, but rather, is meant to put it into perspective as the deeply unimportant detail that it is.
Also, if military and show up late, fuck you, you're fired. Which I'm actually OK with.
That's fair.
