    I’m originally from the US. Since living in Europe, I can’t believe how much easier the metric system is. I can not convert between the two so I dropped imperial. The only time I deal with it is when I call family in the states.

    I do recall, when I was a kid, they tried to convert the US to metric, but it failed miserably.

      Change is hard. In Europe we wanted to drop daylight saving time, but nobody could agree on which hour to keep. So it’s here to stay. Sigh.
