The really bizarre fact is that our Congress adopted Metric as the US
"Standard" system of weights and measures in the 1800's but they failed to
pass a law requiring its use.

...Sorry for those in "Metric Land" who do not understand the US hardware
system. We tried to go metric many years ago and failed. Most of the
auto industry is now metric, but for small hardware, the US sizes
predominate here. We have to keep two sets of wrenches if we are to
have a complete set.
