, we use English units of measure
Yeah...about that. Go to a lab and see if they are asking for 7&1/2 oz. of something.
I'm not trying to make you drive in Kph (although, objectively, the metric system is superior in every way and our system is obsolete.)

and put the $ in front of our numbers.
But have you ever thought of Why we do it?
Hell, we use obsolete things all the time because we are too stupidly stubborn to change.
QWERTY keyboard? Designed for use with typewriters. Obsolete.
Fax machines? Obsolete.
Newspapers? Only good for cheap wrapping paper, starting a fire, and crawfish boils.

I work in a lab, I know about units. People still use fax machines. Qwerty keyboard is still the standard, I don't know what keyboard you use.

Next time you order a beer, ask for 473mL instead of a pint.
