USA English Stardard System -versus- The-Rest-of-the-World
which uses the Metric System.

==========================
It shall be lawful throughout the United States of America to employ the
weights and measures of the metric system; and no contract or dealing,
or pleading in any court, shall be deemed invalid or liable to objection
because the weights or measures expressed or referred to therein are
weights or measures of the metric system.

- As a result, the U. S. has been "metric" since 1866,
- but only in the sense that Americans have been free
- since that time to use the metric system as much
- as they like.
