<sarcasm>The hold up is that we can't manufacture metric screwdrivers and adjustable wrenches.</sarcasm>

 

I don't like the 100 km/h speed limit on the QEW.

 

Especially since we don't have a spot that reads 62.5 mph. I am generally going 140 anyway.

 

metric system is pretty cool, But I still measure stuff in feet and inches :dunno:

 

The US already switched to metric, most people just didn't follow along. All the standards published by the government are in metric units. The latest standards from the Army Corps of Engineers, NAVFAC, and the Caltrans are in metric. Municipal governments seem to still use US Standard units, so most of the engineering I do is in US units. The only time I used metric was when I worked on a project in Singapore.

 

I hope we do someday.

 

F > C

miles > kilometers.

 

We could do like England where for the most part they have switched to metric, in places where doing so would be useful, but for navigational purposes where people are so used to distances traveled being expressed in miles, they hold on to the imperial units.

 

metric > standard

I mean...even just simple shit like sockets...its easier to be like...oh shit this 14mm is too big...I prob need a 13mm.

 

that is a great idea.
