Oh, and what is to be gained by us changing our entire system of measurement to appease you?

it would probably be easier for imports and exports to be using the same type of measurement but i'd imagine there would be a large cost associated in switching over now. mechanics, carpenters and many other trades mostly still use the imperial system here. there is little advantage to switching for americans.
