Why Didn't America Go Metric? Now I Finally Get It.

#metric

Because Americans are still, deep inside, medieval barbarians :)

@Emmanuel Florac Indeed, we are. I wear that badge gladly. However, I do practice my metric system. I am, after all, a man of science as well as barbarism. For proof, here I am converting temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit: (°F-32)/(1.8) and here I am converting the reverse: (°C*1.8)+32. Ta-da. Barbarians rule!

That's too bad Jefferson didn't receive his meter, though.
