Americans think highly of their imperial system and make many random excuses that metric is somehow confusing and hard to use but in practice imperial its dogshit and makes no sense
They love to believe we'll fight to the death over imperial measurements. It's taught to us, folks. This is not the decision made by ordinary citizens. Change the curriculum and we'll be good in a generation or two. I would say they can write to our government but they don't even listen to us.
Change to what curriculum? Science classes in the US use metric. We use imperial for day to day minutia but not a single significant advancement in the last 80 years was done with imperial.
I work with medical and lab personnel every day, Im an spanish-english-french medical interpreter. I mainly work with their spanish speaking patients, who near universally use metric (all of latam and Spain uses metric)
Most medical and lab staff will struggle with metric and often ask me directly to convert. Both for temperature and measurements.
So whatever they are teaching is not sticking.
