I voted NO simply because I am a difficult American that can NOT see any way other than my own as being any better even if the whole thing makes no goddamn sense cuz ‘Murica!!:crankey:

I work on cars and I hate the American Standard system. Ive been working on cars 12 years and still dont truely know it!? Its especially a bitch when dealing with thread sizes. The standard to metric "conversion" fucks up Apollo missions and shit. 10mm nuts and bolts should build all vehicles, period.

Metric is magic.

Imperial is waste material.

We already have.  Machining and engineering uses both.  The fraction to metric gets to be hard guesses without a chart.

Having a narrow mind and using one system limits ones ability.

I don't see how using only one could limit one's ability.. It's just a system for measuring stuff. And in my head the metric seems a lot more logical and easy to use because all you do is multiply/divide by 10

1 inch = 0.08333 ft = 0.02777 yards? wtf america

The idea would be to simply have one that works

And both work. But metric is easier to comprehend and imperial is impossible to make accurate conversions without a computer
+++literally everybody but the us uses metric already stop being hipsters

Well fractions get hard to remember and makes war time precision difficult due to being so small and drawn out.

They don't usually do that though.  Then there is lack of transference.  Not all the shit made fits the other shit.

Sometimes cars have both systems.  Being an international project of stealing and hostile take overs.

Use inches,feet for larger measurements rather than millimeters or centimeters. Use mm and cm for smaller measurements. Feet come in handy in the gap between cm and meters. Etc.

Orders

I go cheaply too.  That is why our inventions worked but then things are pricey to import.  We lose a lot doing that.

Like god damn ganja seeds.  Anerica held onto too many.

Seeing as we crashed a Mars orbiter because of this it is high time we switch.

Quote:

What was the Mars Climate Orbiter?
Metric mishap caused loss of NASA orbiter. (CNN) -- NASA lost a $125 million Mars orbiter because a Lockheed Martin engineering team used English units of measurement while the agency's team used the more conventional metric system for a key spacecraft operation, according to a review finding released Thursday.
