FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: AMERICA DOESN'T GIVE AN INCH TO GO THE EXTRA METRE, WHY IT DOESN'T GO METRIC!

IS IT THAT AMERICA WOULD ALWAYS BE CONFUSED? WOULD THE PUBLIC NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MANY HECTARES OF LAND THEY OWN OR WHAT SPEED THEY ARE GOING IF THEY ARE GOING 100 km/h?? SOME SAY ITS THE COST. I KNOW THAT WHEN CANADA WENT METRIC AROUND 1975 IT COST A LOT BUT NOT AS MUCH AS IT WOULD TODAY. THE U.S.A HAS LOTS OF MONEY TO SPARE AND HEY IT HAS IN A LOT OF WAYS. THE TRADE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES IS DONE IN METRIC MEASUREMENTS. THE HEALTH SECTOR IS DONE IN METRIC. CC's OF THIS AND ml's OF THAT. 2 LITRE BOTTLES OF POP AND WINE IN 750 ml BOTTLES ETC. THEY HAD TALKED YEARS AGO ABOUT THE PUBLIC'S CONFUSION ABOUT THE BASICS OF LIFE , THEIR WEATHER FORCAST IN METRIC HAVING A HIGH OF 20C AND A LOW OF 10C INSTEAD OF 68F AND 50F RESPECTIVELY AND GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH BUT WOULD HAVE TO SEE THE SIGNAGE AT 80 OR 100 km/h......THEY COULD DO WHAT WE DID......HAVE DUAL MEASUREMENTS FOR A WHILE. THEY DO THAT ON STORE PACKAGING NOW FOR YEARS. ITS TIME THAT AMERICA GETS OFF THE FENCE AND SWITCHES......THERE ARE ONLY A FEW COUNTRIES LEFT, AMERICA FOR ONE , THAT HASN'T GONE METRIC YET. IF IT HASN'T BEEN TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS , IT SHOULD START AND GET THE U.S.A ON TRACK TO CONVERSION OVER TO A-METRIC-A!
