Yes but in this country, we have to create committees that cost millions so they can sit and do nothing.. then those committees have to hire outside consultants that charge another few million to submit their findings that state that they need to research further... more funding required..
Then the aclu must get involved because someone can't spell millimeter and it causes stress.. Then the bible thumpers start yelling because, "cubit" isn't included in the metric system.
Then of course there are those who would label it as an attempt by some wack job conspiracy theorists to change something that isn't broken..

So we just decided to drop the whole thought and live our peaceful little, "feet & inch" lives...
