Multistate Disagreement over the Length of the Foot to End
Is US&#x27;s consistent refusal to adopt something more common like the metric system the ultimate display of &quot;Not invented here&quot; syndrome? (I know imperial was invented by the British, but it&#x27;s largely just the US left using it) Feels like everyone would be better off if the switch just happened already, as it&#x27;ll happen one day or another. But they keep on fighting it off, for some reason.<p>Or does the imperial system have some advantage over metric (not including the fact that everything in the US is already using imperial) that makes it infeasible to change?
