And yet you call Americans dumb for not adopting the metric system. Why would we think we would do a better job than you? I would much rather use the system my grandpa grew up with rather than use the hybrid abomination that the UK uses.

I'm a Scottish nationalist and republican (in the British sense). It's one of my pipe dreams to see an independent Scotland adopt the metric system fully but I kinda doubt it will ever happen.
