Metric System in the U.S.A.

Metric System in the U.S.A.
Dear Mr. President,
Instead of inches, feet, yards, and miles, we, as a country, should switch to the metric system. The metric system is used throughout the world. Using the metric system would make it easier for tourists to understand the distance they travel with in the country. The metric system is also easier to convert. It uses increments of ten, a nice round number instead of twelve, three, and five thousand, two hundred eighty. Now you can clearly see that we should bring the metric system to the U.S.A!
Sincerely,
Caleb
