Closeauthor=LockeZI thought it was changed, it's just that everyone ignored it...
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just keep using whatever you're already familiar with.
It would be like changing the national language to spanish because almost every other country in the western hemisphere speaks spanish. Yes, okay, then we'd match. I don't think national policy should be based on OCD though. (I mean okay that's a lie yes I totally think it should)
Anyway, "inconvenience" is not the right word. "Cost" is the right word. The American school system is practically bankrupt and cannot afford to replace every textbook in the country. There would also be other costs, and not much profit. Therefore changing our measurement system is simply financially impossible. End of story.
I guess it must suck to habe a country that spends all of its money on war instead of smarter things.
Actually, I know it does because I basically live in that too.

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

So The U.S. don't have enough money to bring themselves up to date with physics and general metrics that are several hundred years old already... Doesn't that kinda make it a third world country?
Don't buy into that malarky. The mechanism for the change needed is actually already in place. It would inconvenience most people for, at most, fifteen minutes, and those text books LockeZ is talking about? Most of them already teach metrics anyway. Maybe 5 percent of all schools would be majorly put out.
Edit: That's the point Kentona makes when he says that we did change but everyone ignored. Look at every map in a schoolroom. It has a mile key, but then right below it is kilometers. The change is already made on the small scale. Congress just doesn't think it's sufficiently important to give consideration to.

Is it just me, or is "Thawed Notes on Game Chill 2013" featured again? I suppose I should not complain, but, it seems to be that there should be something else to feature there?
I bet kentona just wants to see how many people notice this stuff.

You welcome.
You can also (if you're feeling gutsy) cut words like "and" down to an' or even 'n. It's all about experimenting with what sounds right. You can also go buck wild.

Additionally, my fine fellow, as for adding them to possessive nouns, such as mine, yours, its, and the like. Just don't.
Names: Your screen name is Adon and the post two above is Adon's post. My name is Thomas, and this post is Thomas' post. When adding an apostrophe after names, where the name ends in 's', the addition of another 's', while technically correct, is unnecessary.
And as for toothless elderly men, let's take it one step further and introduce you to a Cockney bloke, Then roit 'nuff, I tells ya, ye'll be jabberin' 'way roit propah English speak 'n let no ones tells ye differn.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Monster truck rally commercials seem a bit too roid-ragey for their own good. It's always something like this:
*ahem*
Announcer: "Coming this Sunday, it's a monster truck rally in the MUD!MUD!MUD !"
*cut-shot to the stands where a man's stuck in a shower of mud being kicked up into the crowd*
Spectator: "Ugh, it's too much!"
*continued mud*
Announcer: "Don'tforgettobringsafetygogglesifyou'reabiiiiiitch!"
"Show up early for reserved seating! If someone's already in your favorite spot, FIGHT TO THE DEATH!"
"We hope you'll join us June 15th for REDNEXTREME!"
"I could really use a cough drop-drop-drop."
