Let me disabuse you of that notion. The Système international is widely
used in the USA. About the only place it is not used is in figuring the
driving distance to the supermarket. Science, industry, education, all
of the activities where the Système international is important employ
it.

I worked for a few companies in the last 30 years, incl. a large aerospace co. for 12 years and none were using metric system.
We used to get drawings from France, Germany in metric, all had to be converted to english measuring system.
