oh I'm sure theres something on their constitution or bill of rights saying "We have the right to use imperial. Its our god given right. If sometime
in the future the US goes metric it risks losing our sovereignty, identity, and all the crap the founding fathers fought so hard to create the home of
the brave"
Or something along those lines...
Anyways... its the US. Why ppl keep questions its weirdness its beyond me... I mean, by now we should all be used to the "crazy US stuff" like
owning a mini military arsenal at home and then be so shocked at columbine-like events, blaming Marlboro for your lung cancer and actually win,
blaming mcdonalds for a burn by a coffee actually spilled by you, because the cup didnt say "Beverage is hot" and... win, thinking Obama is Osama
Bin Laden, building up a legal process against a car company cause the guy turned the "Cruise control" on his van and went for a nap and crashed...
and actually win the lawsuit, getting into wars they cant possibily win and STILL thinking they're the greatest super power the world has ever seen,
thinking they OWN the moon, seeing a perfectly normal military base with... well... the usual military personnel and yell "PREPARE FOR MARTIAL LAW, I
HAVE PICS"...
All this makes the US a funny country and culture to watch!
As for the metric units... I warn you, you are going TOO FAR.
