  1. What I've found is that most Americans are what I euphemistically call maleducated. I mean come on the metric system is base 10 for god sake. And lets face facts - cars for example. Everything on cars is pretty much metric. Even tires for example. Its all in millimeters. And how about how most groceries are in English/Metric. And modern cars can easily be swapped to metric speed reading. And globalization - it's not just food. It's also peace. Take Japan for example - how many goods did we import from there? Or South Korea? That one is interesting as all hell.

  2. While we haven't gone metric per se we have in many other ways. All the nuts and bolts on a car for example are now metric. And on most liquid containers its in the imperial and metric measures. And whilst I had three years of Castilian Spanish in high school I also studied it for a few more years on my own.
