Would you support the U.S. switching to the metric system?

You guys don't realise how simple the metric system is. When you see it, you'll love it.

Virtually everyone in the US IS rather familiar with the metric system. It's covered in schools extensively, lots of zoning ordinances are based on meters, American cars show the speedometer in both miles and km per hour, etc. It's not a lack of familiarity that makes people find it not simple, it's simply being conditioned to default to imperial units.

Anyway despite the nationalist nonsense here which is quite idiotic, I don't really care for it. There's no real advantages aside from synchronization with the rest of the world and while that's not trivial, I don't see how it could justify the massive infrastructure costs that would result. Maybe have metric units aside imperial, but that's kind of pointless, especially since Canadians and I'm sure Mexicans near the border who visit frequently are still pretty familiar with imperial units just like Americans are with metric.

I really like miles as an American highway unit because around 60MPH is a pretty common speed limit on American highways. That means that you're driving roughly one mile per minute, and can easily estimate your arrival time. For that matter city streets usually have 30MPH limits, and major roads within cities are usually 40-45MPH, all nice multiples of 60. So what makes km better? Because it scientifically makes more sense due to its basis on the Earth's circumference? The fraction of the Earth's circumference you are driving when driving from one point to another is completely meaningless in day to day life. And yes Fahrenheit is superior for day to day use for the reasons listed above.

Yes, of course. US measure units are an offense to reason and good taste whose very memory of their existence needs to be wiped off the surface of the Earth.

Actually no they make perfect sense in day to day life (at least for distance) for the reasons I addressed earlier.
