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?

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.

Except for the currency of course. US was one of the first.
