I'm a Canadian living in the States. The English/Imperial system is clumsy. There is nothing intuitive about it, people are just used to it.

Canada switched over with hardly a problem. The U.S. is just being its usual parochial, ignorant self.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
