Good luck fixing something that's been "wrong" for 20 years. Here in the
U.S. we can't even get people to use the metric system.
You realise that the US has officially endorsed metric. They just can’t work
out who will pay to change the street signs. Federal , state, county, city? The
signs are all owned by cities, but they dont have budget. And if federal
changed it, you’d have some yokel city planner who doesn’t like them new metric
numbers who will change em back.
Well, the switch to metric was signed into law well before there were
any street signs. By then president Johnson. Andrew Johnson. In 1866.
And the USA has been dragging their collective feet ever since...
