Indeed the us doesnt use metric...i dont know why but we dont. Its wierd. Guess they just wanted to be....different.
The US government attempted to switch all measurements to the metric system in the 70's but it did not work out.
The problem stemmed from people not being raised with the metric system and therefore could not adjust as quickly as the government hoped. So they switched back to the previous system.
