Fundamentally, Americans hate unnecessary and stupid change. Everything is based on metric underneath. We're used to cups, pints, etc. for recipes, etc. Our measuring cups ALSO feature milliliters (aka Cubic Centimeters). If we need metric, we've got it. Our kids will happily go along with whatever fancy new units you come up with, just let us old people have our way with our old measuring tools, etc.
