Not really, and you'd have to do it more frequently. The US already has a standard, and a lot of existing stuff built to it. Adopting the metric system isn't going to change the size of the pipes in my house's plumbing, the units in my recipes and cookbooks, etc.
Mine only have grams.
There's little reason to convert a recipe in any case, assuming you won't forget how to use "English" units.
[1] Different sizes to yours, naturally. At least the fluid ones.
1 kilometer is 1000 meters
1 kiloliter is 1000 liters
etc.
1 mile is 1760 yards
1 foot is 12 inches
1 gallon is 4 quarts
etc.
dunno, seems simpler to me.
Cheeky.
You're missing the point. When you change between systems you're going to have to do conversions like:
1 mile is ~1.61 kilometers
1 foot is 0.3048 meters
1 gallon is ~3.79 liters
Doesn't seem all that much simpler. Switching doesn't improve conversions as much as you'd think. If the US metricated, I'd have to do a lot more conversions in my everyday life, because, at present, I hardly do any between US units.
I may not have articulated it correctly, but if everyone would go metric, as the majority of the world is already, it’d be better for everyone. Being an outlier with a system that is a bit obtuse serves no one.
