the U.S. is in a hybrid state between the 2 measuring systems

liquor is all metric any more, we buy 750s not fifths, liters not quarts, 500mls not pints and 1.5L not half gallons.

all the cars i have had since 2000 have had both mph and kph on the speedometers

most digital thermometers allow either fahrenheit or celsius

and the most common socket to lose out of your socket set is the 10mm

as far as U.S. falling behind? who is to say which is the better system. Americans master both systems any more so who exactly is behind who?

besides all you asshats drive on the left hand side of the road and that just ain 't right, so what do you know?

dammit.
