Being an engineer and working for a manufactuirng company that sells
globally, the US cannot switch to metric fast enough to suit me. Being a
woodworker I would switch entirely to metric if I could get everything I
need in metric sizes. I remember learning the metric system in 3rd grade,
and hearing it was Real Important because we would be switching over in "a
few years"...well, why don't we? It's easier for everything.

I'm curious, has there ever been an attempt at going metric in the US?
e.g.
using Celsius? How do people feel about it?
