Does America not adopt the metric system out of sheer bloody-

(mostly imperial unfortunately). The UK is not much better, at
least at governmental level. The day America changes its attitude
to the rest of the world (of which SI is a fundamental part) is the
day that the US will regain its pre-eminence, not until.
