Do you believe that the us should convert to the metric system explain why or why not

This is an opinion question so I’ll give both sides.

The US should convert since the rest of the world is using it and it will make communicating ideas and thoughts more easily. This is why the scientific world uses it. The metric system is also easier since it’s based on powers of ten.

Now for the other view...

The US shouldn’t convert since the Imperial system is used at a lot of places. On highway signs, in notebooks, it’s taught in school too. Switching to the metric system would cost a lot of money just changing highway signs and changing units on chip bags and things like that. All Americans would also need to learn a new system too
