What are the attitudes of many Americans towards the metric system?

Answer 1

Whatever attitude you describe, you can find large numbers of Americans who feel

exactly that way.

Concerning the "metric" system of measurement, many Americans feel that it's time

to get wtih the program and begin the process of converting the country to it.

On the same question, many other Americans feel that the whole idea is a Liberal

plot to gain power over them by confusing them, and to push the US toward one

big liberal world socialist communist liberal government by taking away our inches.

They see no need to screw everybody's mind over by forcing us to abandon the

system that has served our country so well and faithfully since the founding fathers

brought forth on this continent a new nation etc., and that if the old time system is

still good enough for Libya and Myanmar in this modern age, well then it's still good

enough for us, just the way god created it. Maybe those pointy-headed liberals have

time to sit around all day, not working for a living, smoking their funny stuff, collecting

their welfare checks and drilling new kinds of things into their heads like 10 of this

makes one of that and a hundred of that makes one of the other thing, but we're

just as happy thank you to do an honest day's work, feed our kids, refresh our

women, and do it all the honest way, with good old, natural, cups, pints, gallons,

ounces, pounds, inches, feet, yards, miles, gills, drams, and giblets. Liters, meters,

and peters is for the girly boys, and they'll get my quart when they pry my cold

dead fingers off it.

That's how many Americans feel about it. Yes sir.

Answer 2

Many Americans are resistant to adopting the metric system due to familiarity with the Imperial system, which is commonly used in the US. Some view the metric system as unnecessary or too complicated to learn. However, there is a growing acceptance of the metric system among younger generations and in certain industries that rely on global standards.
