Metric is easier all around than standard. Metric has nice round numbers to deal with, multiples of ten in every unit of measure. It'* easier to figure out how many meters in 27 kilometers than how many feet in 27 miles(multiply 5280 by 27 off the top of your head!). 
The U.*., Sri Lanka, and the Republic of East Bumf!*k are the only nations that don't use metric. It would probably be easier for import/export businesses to not have to convert everthing over.

Uhm, Which country is the dancing banana and which one is the dancing monkey? Either way, I don't like the implied outcome! 
Lets confuse the issue even more. Puerto Rico is part of the U.*., they are not their own country, but they are not a state, they don't speak English as their native language, but they must all learn it in school, they use the U.*. Dollar, they measure their distances in meters and kilometers--but their speed in Miles per hour, they measure their weights in pounds and ounces, they measure their liquids in leters (gas) and gallons (milk).
Talk about a messed up system! This is what happens when one tries to change a society from one system to the other!

Oh got that right. In the construction industry, its a bit wacky for designers and architects. When working residential everything is in Imperial regarding lumber, but in commercial applications its all metric.
It makes me wonky. I suppose we use the best of both north of the border too.
