Why hasn't the United States switched to the metric system?
I'm curious about why the United States hasn't switched to using the metric system. Can you shed any light on that?
Certainly! The United States is one of only three countries that haven't adopted the metric system as their primary system of measurement. There are a few reasons for this, one of which is simply that it would involve a significant amount of effort and money to switch over completely. Additionally, many Americans are accustomed to using customary units of measurement, and some feel that switching to metric would be an unnecessary complication.
