Don't forget, we aren't the only ones. England uses miles and pounds too. Some guy in England got fined a large amount because he was still selling fruit by the pound, but since England is in the EU they are supposed to sell by the kg. (if I remember the story correctly)

Yep, I don't think we are going to change anytime soon. Most people are just barely smart enough to get the measurements that we already have without having to learn a new system even though it's actually easier.
