Pokémon Go Is Teaching Americans the Metric System
It is interesting that it would be trivial for them to localize the units, it seems like they specifically didn't.<p>As a datapoint of one I was fine with thinking in kilometers because those are generally the units I use when running (you don't typically enter 3.11 mile races).<p>My sense of metric vs. imperial is that metric will seep into public conscious slowly over time, and hopefully some time in the future, we'll realize it's better for everyone to use the same units, and have a referendum.
