So you still use pounds and degrees fahrenheit - not to mention 16 oz pints.

Hell, even one of your space probes failed because the lockheed engineers used poundals or some such obsolete abomination -

No, idiot. It failed because it used kilograms, and the technician
filled the tank with pounds, which meant that it got less than half of
what it needed. This only proves that conversion to another standard
means that mistakes WILL be made.

No, what it means is having 2 sets of units, one used by the entire world (except yourselves), the other in the USA causes
mistakes.

You need to move to using international units.
