The US has been in the process of converting to the metric system since 1975, lol.
I always thought that it was a secret conspiracy by Sears to force me to buy new tools every few years. First a socket set in standard, then a second socket set in metric, then one set of allen head wrenches, then the stupid star shaped allen head wrenches, then the star shaped with the teat in the middle, then God knows what else. Stupid metric system.
My favorite was working on Fords from the 80's, with the engine built on one line (not converted) and the body build on another line (converted). So you had to have both metric and standard wrenches to work on those.
