SI Units & US
This is a random question that popped into my head while doing SI units. Why hasn’t the US converted to SI units?

I've thought about this too! Here's a video I found to be pretty interesting. https://youtu.be/qbdx2nOQKKo

I suppose because it'd likely take a lot of time, money, and commitment. Everyone has got to be on board and they'd have to start teaching it in schools and such. It would be nice to see it happen though.

Because the US wanted to be special and declare their sovereignty... and then we never bothered to think how much easier it would be to just go to SI and just switch.

I believe that it is relatively difficult to convert now once the U.S has already adapted to the system we're using for awhile
