We can't just change it all. It'd cost too much. More than it's worth. In the trillions.

Out of 243 countries, 240 are non-metric. So how can you say the metric system is crap when 99% of the world's countries use it?

In the end if 99% of countries uses metric, it is costing money NOT to use metric. And not using metric leads to accidents, too. Accidents already have happened because of conversion problems.
