And then there're the Americans who point at the Metric system and scream "why not us". Which is anyone who's sane and not afraid of change.

I am by no means sane, but I'm all about metric.

Well in that case, please let me introduce you to the inch. I have a good feeling about this!

Here's the deal; where metric use is necessary as in science, the military and engineering, we use it same as everyone else. As for the rest, most people really don't care, so that's why we'll probably always have a mixed system. It's just not a big issue for most people, sorry to say.
