... Should the United States switch over to the metric system? ... To help prove my point I will tell you that first, all the other countries use it, second, it makes much more sense on where the metric system came from, and finally how much easier the metric system is to learn and use. ... There are only three countries that have not made the metric system their official unit of measure. ... For example, if the whole world had one system of measurement, nobody would have to convert what The United States imports or exports. ...
Second, it makes more sense on where the metric system came from compared to where the English system came from. The metric system came from actual facts of the earth, rather than from the length of some king¡¯s arm. ¡°The distance from the pole to the equator was divided into ten million parts to constitute the meter¡± (Speer 2) And as we all know, the english system is a bunch of random numbers that were placed together.
