You are unbelievable clueless... You gain simple conversions, how do you say 15% of a pound? I say it 150 grams (in the case of kilos). Now imagine how many these conversions are done daily in the whole country (not even trading internationally but converting imperial to imperial) and count how many millions of labor hour does it take.
Its not about foreigners you ignorant "proud American", its about common sense: imperial system is prehistoric fossil which is obsolete in 21st century and metric system is not. It is clear to anybody with half a brain. It has nothing to do with foreigners.
