When will you yanks finally change to the metric system?

Seriously, make your life's easier and change already! The imperial system is horrible...

Why don't you change to our system?

Life will be so much easier when you stop harrassing us about it.

Rocky32189

Agree with that.

But to the TC's question, too many companies use inches/feet. No one wants to switch because there are too many changes to be made.

Prove it.

Off the top of your head:

How many feet in a mile?

How many meters in a kilometer?

[QUOTE="kingkui"]

Kilometer = 1000 meters. Now, off the top of your head again:

How many feet in 7 miles?

How many meters in 7 kilometers?

Because of football. there would be no reason for us not to use the superior metric system but football needs it's Yards.

It pretty much tells you in the question, kilo means x10^3, so there is 1x10^3 (1000) meters in a kilometer. But you already knew that. :P

Well you should care more about spelling when in an internet forum than the metric system.

Correct, but it'll pay off in the long-run.

If you don't care enough about you're spelling, then everytime you attempt to argue it makes you look like a stubborn child. If i told you to use our currency system, because it is better, would you think it was? No, you were raised on a different one, which therefore makes you more used to it.

Well, since you had to tell me what a kilometer equalled out to in the first place, I'd say calculating a mile was easier, since 5,280 x 7 is very easy to do.

Not really. I just made a topic big deal, what are forums for? Oh wait, we must spell everything correctly or else we get an F on our next report card, this isn't school...

"Stubborn child"? Sure...

"Spelling" determines if I'm stubborn child or not? Sweet logic, man :roll:

I give up. Just to make me look like an even bigger jackass, saying 1 mile is faster than saying 1 kilometer, even faster than 1 kilo.

If you want people to take you more seriously, then yes. NO you won't get an F on your report card, but what you do learn in school you should incorporate into real life. If you walk down the street and can only speak gibberish, people will think you're crazy. Same goes for the internet - if you're nothing but spelling errors, people will think you're crazy.

But anyways, not to drive far away from the main topic.... I ask you, why do you care? What impact does that fact that Americans don't use the metric system have on you? It would be drastic for America to just one day decide to switch everything to metric. The system we use now works fine, it's more complicated than your system, but it still works, and few Americans would really care otherwise.

When you stop calling us "yanks." Seriously, I hate that term. :|
