America does speaks metric, especially the technical and scientific communities. They just also speak standard.
Don't other countries get on Americans for not speaking more than one language? Why is that now a detriment?
Because people enjoy hating America. It's one of lemmys favorite pass times.
Well they shouldn't. It's harmful.
Donβt forget another area where metric is somehow thriving; the inner cities in the US.
Edit: yaβll need to lighten up.
