A majority of the world uses the metric system. http://i.imgur.com/IuUg6.jpg It is a better system just would take too much time and moneyt o convert the US to it |

The rest of the world doesn't use day, month, year, though. Some of them are really smart and use year, month, day. Why can't the world just use the ISO standard for writing dates? Probably the same reason the US doesn't follow the ISO standard for other measurements. |

In any case, we know from what happened in the UK what would happen if we changed systems in the US. From what I've read, many of the older English citizens find metric just as confusing as ppl in the US. |

I actually don't think the metric system is that confusing. |

I don't mean confusing as in they can't comprehend it, but in that they can't visualize quantities given in metric. |
