I believe there was a half-hearted attempt to go metric in the '70's.
Other than for scientific purposes, I don't ever expect the United
States to officially adopt the metric system, although it would
definitely benefit from doing so.

About the only effect of the 1970s effort is the two-liter soda bottle.


Also the displacement of automobile engines changed from cubic inches to
liters. KM
