 If I remember my history we were going to change over. For some reason it never really happened.

Because it would take a shit load of time, money and effort to change everything over and re-educate everyone to it. Not to mention past historical references, cultural and psychological aspects, it would take generations.

Not necessarily. Start teaching metric in this generation, provide both types of measurement in all of our products, then in ten years, remove the English measurement from all of the products (but provide guide to the old people). I mean how else did we include liters in our messages?

That's still a shit load of time, money and effort. Also most American's know jack shit about liters, it's a technicality.

Which is why you teach both in schools, and if possible, collage (assuming the students don't know the metric system).
