"The metric system is here to stay..." Back in the 1990's, the "Feds" mandated a switch to the Metric System for all highway projects in the country. They finally decided it was not a good idea, and put it on hold. Meanwhile Kansas jumped in with both feet and all design plans came out - first in English/Metric, then within a few months in total Metric. This didn't last long, though. After spending untold tax dollars on the switch (including a good amount on highway signs), they realized that as soon as the contractor got the plan sheets, he automatically converted them back to "English" measurements and quantities. Guys who have been working with "cubic yards", "pounds", and "tons" for 40 years, weren't too keen on "cubic meters", "metric tons", and "kilograms".... I don't have a problem wit it, but most people do. It will be a long time before you see the US do a total conversion. The Metric System might be here to stay, but this ain't France.
