The irony is that in the US, Metric is the standard, used by all science, military, governmental etc sectors.
It's just that the average American is too insecure to acknowledge this fact.
This is utter horseshit. Anyone who doesn’t acknowledge that fact probably just didn’t know and you’re just projecting some “I’m better than you” nonsense.
We learn the metric system in our schools. It’s part of our curriculum. We learn it in math classes, we learn it in science classes, we learn about it in history classes as well.
The UK drives using MPH too, despite the metric system being the standard. Oh nooooo! An alternate measurement system that the masses understand and accept!
For what it is worth, if you were curious, NIST adopted and recommends the SI standard.
However what IS fun is the world adopting US customary measures intertwined with metrics units for new measurements that weren’t used before, electrical current/resistance stuff like that. Though, good luck getting anyone who likes to try to dunk on the USA like this to admit it.
Any American who responds how you’re saying is just pissed that once again someone is trying to look down their nose at us for living our fucking lives.

And apparently promptly have an episode of amnesia because every adult here seems to not know how to convert.
That really hurt you didn't it...
The US Navy is an exception, and doesn't use metric. Even their nuclear stuff uses the English Engineering System (Mostly imperial units.).
Yep, the US military operates on metric time
Or too rebellious
Yep, how can the "greatest nation on earth" use a system that inferior countries do...
