You are expected to regale us with many witty British terms and their meanings, I suppose.

There are only three countries in the world that don't use the metric system, Liberia, Myanmar and the US. That isn't something I would brag about.
By the way, the computers on the Apollo flights used the metric system. We literally used the metric system to get to the moon. Nice use of the eagle/flag, but a complete fail otherwise. No wonder so many other countries think we are idiots. |

Partially correct. The instruments were displayed in American.

How long is a Canadian football field? I don't think it's metric.
If we switched the metric system, would it bring down scoring in the NFL since the field would be 100 meters? We'd probably see some bad offense for a decade too due to confusion on pass routes.

So if it was up to me we would convert to metric, but leave football in yards, leave the Indy 500 in miles, and leave temperature in Fahrenheit. |

The only argument against going to the metric system is the usual American "We are America, we're not letting no furriners tell us what to do, plus we don't want to learn anything new" BS. |
