Trying something new: America AMA! 

Ask me a question why something is the way it is in the US and I'll try to give you the best answer.

Qualifications: I've been an American my entire life. Other Americans should feel free to chime in.

Why don’t you give up the imperial system?

Because it is elected within Catholics… 😜 the imperial system was not invented in US. Even the inventories gave up and are now using the metric (more logical) system. My question is honest. I’m really interested to understand what is the friction (beside adaptation) to migrate to the metric one.

Same as adapting to the fact that the earth rotates around the sun and not the vice versa. It’s called scientific evolution.  If a system is better, we adapt it. So we evolve.

Let me flip it to you -- by what process did the rest of the world adopt the metric system?
