Talk:English and Metric Units

Speaking of which, Conservepedia should set some policies regarding preferencial units. While metric is now prefered for all scientific things, I know that Conservapedia is very much an American site, so people are going to use the old ones anyway... perhaps it would be better to require them for consistancy?

One of the uses of Conservapedia is to assist the education of home-schooled children. Such a suggestion would serve them poorly, as any educated citizen of the 21st century will need to be familiar with the metric system. Even in the US, some metric units are already widely used (9 mm bullets, 2-liter soda bottles, 10 km races, etc.) and this trend is likely to continue.
