Heh, just like how US is stubborn and will never switch to metric because so many people are used to imperial.  :-\

Well, atleast for the metric system, I find it pretty funny that almost every country uses it, but which one doesn't? *drumroll*

The same goes for the fahrenheit system.. Most of the serious scientists don't use it. Read, no america bashing intended. ;)

EDIT: Ninja'ed me! But nice that you agree. :)

Well We have been trying to implement the metric system for a while now....  But it just... it just never sticks to us.  I think it's funny how america is Black instead of dark red.  Overdramatic anyone? :D.

The same goes for the system you yankees use for dates. Here in europe and for a big part of the rest of the world, it is "Day/Month/Year", starting from smallest, to the biggest unit. Why do *you* have to use "Month/Day/Year"? :P It makes no sense! ;D
