Americans: Do you favor switching to the metric system?

RE: Americans: Do you favor switching to the metric system?
In a perfect world, yes, but I work in manufacturing, and it would be an absolute pain in the ass. Sure, the conversion factors I have to use can be a bitch, but it's far simpler than switching over the whole process to metric.

Chas pointed out that Canada switched with little trouble, but Canada doesn't have the manufacturing that we do.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
