Abstract:The reasons for metric conversion are simple. The United States is the only industrialized country in the world not metric. Not being able to "speak the metric language" has limited the U.S. competitiveness in what has become a global economy. The metric system itself is easy to use. Other nations, like Great Britain, Canada, and Australia that converted in the 1960's and 1970's, have found that metric is a superior system.
