Poll: Opinions of the metric system in the US

Link copied

Hi. This is about the question of whether we should switch to the metric system poll. We have used the imperial system all our lives, but the whole other world is using the metric system (except the United Kingdom). And I’ve heard that actually, in documents and in government, we officially use the metric system and have already switched. But among people, in daily life, we use the imperial system: miles, inches, feet, etc. So, what's your opinion on the metric system? Should we switch to it?
