no, i believe that if we were to move to metric it would effect most of our country. 1 - we would have to take down EVERYTHING that is Imperial, or US Standard units to the metric system. that meaning about a gazillion spped limit signs among other things 2 - think of all the people from 8 - 25 years old that have already learned the imperial system, it will be a very stressful switch to take away something the spent almost their whole life learning. 3 - whats the point? what does it benefit? and how will it effect the US? ... all im saying is just because most of the other countries out there use metric, does not mean we have to. and also we don't use "Stick" and a unit for butter, its just how lazy some people are. i know most countries look down upon us because of this system, but the fact is that they only do that because most of them cant even begin to understand our system compared to ours. no hate but true
