Imperial is pointless and US measurements aren;t even the same as imperial ones. they have no idea what a pint is and have different sized gallonsa dn Ounces of fluid
Change can;t happen overnight. We decided to go metric in the early sixties then started teaching it in schools until only a few years ago we abolished its usage completely for weights.
Metric was started by Posttheists (ie those who rejected Christianity but took up pantheism or Atheism during the aftermath of the French revolution) and is a standard si unit. Si units are incredibly easy to work out. They are based on 8 different constants.
The Meter is the distance between the Equator and the North Pole. The Kilogram is the amount of water at its heaviest temperature (about 4*c) contained by 10cm cubed which by complete coincidence happens to be a litre all SI Units work out perfectly based on the 8 constants.
Only 1 meter between equator and the pole, what planet are you on?
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
