Hey Magnus,

I'll claim that the US will never go metric for a very good reason --
metric units just do not work in poetry or song lyrics.

The rhythms of the syllables are generally useless, rhyming is
severely limited, visualization and metaphor don't really work, and
there are no traditional cultural references.

It's very difficult to find any good poetry or song lyrics with
metric units.
