I think I heard they considered it in the 1970s but they found the cost of converting to metric would be a ridiculous sum.

They actually tried it. Didn't go well. But things are very different now. Manufacturing is global. Most Fords and Chevys are metric, and built somewhere else. It's past time

Metric is by far the superior system. So used to using imperial measurements for cooking. It would take some getting used to but overall worth it in the long run for this country.

This. There's really no debate.

We're just biased towards what we're accustomed to working with.

Nay. I acknowledge that metric is a better system, but it's not worth the trouble of switching.

Yes, I only use it for my job, and it is much easier/exact than the imperial system. Period.
