Or, on the other hand, there's no real good reason
to convert. People in the United States, for example, understand miles and Fahrenheit. Who cares if it matches the rest of the world? If the standard unit of measure was an average jack rabbit hop, times 221.7, and everyone was used to that, why should they change to some other standard? What's wrong with using what we're accustomed to? Why should we change for the sake of changing?
