You forgot one...We Don't Give a Fuck! And quite frankly, nobody has brought it up since the 80's.
We got way more pressing shit to worry about, and it really doesn't matter to us.
Our Jets can still bomb, our ships can still patrol the Persian Gulf so the world can have oil, and 100yard dash is now the 100meter dash, and we still kick ass at the Olympics....what's the problem?
What's next, we have to start using Euros, or GBP's ? (Although I'll take a few of those right now)
It's on the cars, everything with numbers and measurements has both conversions, we have the tools at our disposal, we can convert it when we need to in about 3 seconds. Why do we have to change all the highway signs?
What's the big deal?
