    I honestly don’t know anyone that can’t use metric. I was taught it in school and every job I’ve had where I had to measure anything, outside of construction, used metric.

    The idea that the US doesn’t use metric is bullshit.

      Have you tried cooking from a recipe lately? Or used a measuring tape? Or bought a gallon of milk? Driven a car with a speedometer? Swam a lap in a pool?
