but give me a clean speedo! I must have been in 6th grade, some 45 years ago, when we started
preparing for the great "metric switch" or whatever they called it. Wonder what happened to that? How
did the U.S. as a country begin all that, and then just say, "ehh, no thanks"?
RE metric in the U.S. - The U.S. is a non-trivial and complicated country. Other countries had an easier time making the transition, many doing it in the 1970s.
