I’ll have you know that many Americans are quite knowledgeable about the Metric system, thank you very much.
For example, we go to the store to purchase a quart of milk and a two-liter bottle of soda.
We feed coins into parking meters.
Americans like to visit with their Gram-mas and Grandpas.
We have used 35 millimeter film for cameras.
Lastly, when doing business, the drug addicts and dealers in the United States measure everything in grams and kilograms.
