Why hasn't the United States switched to the metric system?
That's interesting. Are there any other factors that have led to the US sticking with their traditional measuring units?
Yes, there are a few other factors that come into play. One is that certain industries and professions, such as construction and manufacturing, have specific needs that are best met using customary units. Furthermore, the US government has at times been resistant to adopting metrication due to concerns about its impact on trade and commerce.
