Everything in America except building trades has transitioned to metric already.

Even our imperial units are defined in metric.

But… PLEASE don’t tell our citizens. It will all be fine as long as we don’t tell them!

This is exactly my experience. I’ve worked for four different manufacturing companies in the Midwest. Three of them were multi billion dollar companies. All four of those companies used metric almost exclusively.

Such a stupid misconception that is constantly reposted
