I think the great majority of americans would perfer the metric idea. But as "Arroe" simply stated, it would be even more confusing. Remember that Mars mission that was lost about 6 or 7 years ago? Remember why? I was because the initial engineering calculations/programing were set in meters, but the orbital entry data was set in feet. The result? A multi million dollar US built shooting star that either never even came close to mars, or is now burried underneath its surface. So, some would say thing like that would never happen if there was only one standard - and yes, that is true. But imagine how many more disasters would happen immediately if we tried to change.
