I hate the metric system.

The pain is to translate from a system that you aren't used to. It had been much easier if you had just learned the metric system from the beginning, in school. All the rest of the world uses it, and also the universities in the USA. Imagine how frustrating it is when the whole world has one uniform system, easy and logical, based on 10s. 100 cm is 1 meter, 1000 meters is 1 km. You can also easily convert between the units, 1 liter of water is 10 squeere cm and weigh 1 kilo. And then comes the Amercans with their cups, stones and thumbs, and demand us to speak in tersms they can understand. 12 inches is 1 foot, 3 feet is 1 yard, and 1760 yards is 1 mile. There is no logic whatsoever.

BTW.
Celsius is defined: 100 degrees water boils, 0 degrees water freezes.
Fahrenheit is defined: 100 degrees is average body temperature, no one knows what he used to define 0, but water freezes at 32 degrees.

The US has been using the metric system since the 70's. But not all things in the US were changed to metric.

Actually, no. The imperial system is still your official standard, used in everyday civil life, and tought in schools. In universities, NASA and the military you've had to adapt. Simply because all sience is metric. The UK officially switched system in 1965, but especially distances and temperatures are still commonly refered to in imperial units.
