As an American fam of the metric system, I couldn't agree with you more. I think the the only metric measurements the average American understands are 2 liters (soda bottles), kilos (of illicit drugs - LOL), and some may have a vague understanding of KPH, thanks to markings in car speedometers. Maybe one day our country will get its head out of its butt and join the metric world (i.e., the world except for the US and some measurements in the UK), though I highly doubt it.
On second thought, maybe the Chinese will impose it on us in 2050.
