You're a day late and a dollar short (must have to do with being
Canadian or something). As far as the rest of the world is concerned,
trade-wise, the US is already on the metric system. Almost all
manufactures these days use metric.
As for what units Americans use in their personal lives, what's it to
you?
I am happy to see, though, that you Canadians recognize our dominance in
the world by telling us we're holding the rest of it up. Good to know
we still count for something.
