I attended grade school back in the 60's and, along with many of you, was taught the basic metric system. Grams, centimeters, all that fun stuff. I distinctly remember teachers emphasizing "we will be transitioning to this system in the coming years." A decade later I noticed gas station pumps started displaying amounts in gallons and liters. That's about it. Except for having to maintain two complete sets of wrenches and sockets, the USA has really managed to avoid what the rest of the world has determined to be the best, most logical system. One of the reasons we are special, I suppose.
