Americans could easily get used to the Metric System if they learned it
from the word go.

No need. Just start using it and in day you know exactly what the
measurments are. Very simple really.

Like many Americans, years ago I though going metric was silly but now that
I have to use it at times, I wish we'd make the change and be done with it.
All of out machines at work are metric and it is as normal as can be in use
and no 29/32 to worry about.
