American car makers have been using the metric system for over 40 years.
European aircraft maker Airbus uses USTM standards.
The metric system is the best system mathematically.

That’s not a system problem man, that’s human error.

Mathematics has no preference as to which system is best; numbers are just symbols to allow us to express and interpret those concepts. Maybe metric is more intuitive because it’s in base 10 and most of us have ten fingers, but there are hundreds of millions of people who already know imperial and not metric. Are you volunteering to patiently teach them all in the interim while they switch over?

other countries transitioned over no problem.
I have no preference myself, they’re both easy enough to understand; if you personally want to herd that many cats for such a minor thing, feel free to get the US and any other holdouts to switch over. I’m sure it’s pretty easy to get the whole population of the US to agree on something.

The fact is that the whole world converted to the Metric system except 3 countries. The U.S., Liberia and Myanmar.

Myanmar (Burma) is an amazing country, totally screwed up by politics.
As they were part of the British Empire - they used to drive on the left, right hand drive cars. They changed that a few years back and here is the insane result…
they also had crazy denominations on the money when I was there : 15, 35, 45, 75, and, strangest of all, 90 kyats

Metric or standard, all that shit meant to me, was I had to carry around 2 sets of tools, a metric set for the presses coming from Europe, standard for our presses.
All my precision measuring instruments, calipers, micrometers, gages, I bought early on, were standard readings. Then around 1990 or so, most stuff started having both so I read them either way. My caliper became part of my being, always, always in my side pocket, when in the field or in the shop.
