Ugh. Sorry. I guess there’s consolation in knowing so many of us are dealing with similar ■■■■■
Not to mention that The Metric Conversion Act, that Gerald Ford signed into law on December 23, 1975, declared the metric system “the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce”.
Executive Order 12770, which cites the Metric Conversion Act of 1975, directed departments and agencies within the executive branch to “take all appropriate measures within their authority” to use the metric system “as the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce.”
Both are still in effect.

The United States has officially been on the metric system since 1893. In fact, all customary units in the United States are officially defined in metric terms.
The problem is that unlike elsewhere, the United States Government has not had the kahunas to finish the process.
That requires that from a certain date, all commercial products be labeled in metric units ONLY, with no customary units allowed.
Require that only the metric system be used for all governmental purposes.
We famously lost a major Mars mission because one party was using customary and the other party was using metric.
Hopefully we will get metrication here once and for all.
As long as we are making improvements there is one more to consider.

Yeah! If we’re going to use Roman miles, we should use Roman numerals too!
Then President Jonah Ryan can work to dispel the “spherical earth” myth.
Teaching kids that our planet is depicted with a globe…is just globalism.

When I was a kid , there was a push to switch to the metric system here in the US- it never happened. It’s a shame- the metric system is so much better than our ridiculous system. It makes total sense, and is so easy to learn.
global tyranny of the metric system
