The Metric Conversion Act of 1975 designates the International System of Units (SI) as the preferred measurement system for United States trade and commerce. Congress finds that although SI has been authorized by United States law since 1866, we are the only industrially developed nation lacking a National Metrication Policy.

Americans have been toddling around on training wheels for 150 years. This perpetual measurement limbo is a result of us fooling around with dual measurements and never actually getting serious about a metrication completion date. In order to rid ourselves of nonsensical measurements, we must stop relying on conversions and stop making excuses. Our lame Duel Measurement Strategy has utterly failed.

Just take off your training wheels and free yourself. Our nation will have to undergo metrication one person at a time. Start with yourself right now.
