lol, I love America but our devotion to the imperial system of measurements is so silly and stubborn. Our best and most defining trait might be our stubbornness so... in that I take pride in our nonsensical system of measurements.
But... SHIT, it is nonsensical. My forced translation of recipes and multiple sets of car tools because of minuscule differences sure gets annoying.
As bad a President as Carter was, his attempt to get our country to switch to metric may be the only good thing he did (but it failed). Like all things that are good for you (eating healthy foods, getting exercise, etc.), it is painful to make it a habit, but once you break through the pain, you realize how much better it is because of the change.
