I always see the same arguments against metric, that so many things are sized in imperial that it cant be changed. It wont matter, a 2x4 will exist long after imperial is gone and there is nothing wrong with that. It made no sence to change the drive sizes on the ratchets so the tool companies didnt. US industry has been ready to change to metric for a long time so thats a non argument as well.
I disagree with the comments that it will never happen, as the U.S. looses its grip as the economic superpower of the world and it becomes more evident that imperial appears to be the liability that it actually is then things will change.
