Are you serious?

There are 3 countries in the world not using the metric system. The non-metric system is difficult to use because it's using 12 based units with a 10 based numbering system.

Sure switching over is going to be painful but that's true either way, and there are quite a few examples of people switching to the metric system but none, as far as I know, the other way around.
