No. It’s based on my own experiences from living in the US. I had the wonderful luck of meeting a woman i love. She happened to be an American. So I would like to think I’ve spent a fair amount of time interacting with Americans from many different walks of life.
They know it exists. But they do not know how to use it. Because they are not taught how to use it.
I’m not insulting Americans for not knowing something they were not taught. But I will ridicule you for trying to argue against something you don’t understand.
the answer to how much energy you need to heat up 1 liter of water 1 degree C is 1 kilo calorie (1kcal).
The answer to how much energy you need to heat up 1 gallon of water 1 degree F is go fuck yourself I’m not looking that up.
You should be able to appreciate that different people have had different experiences, and in a place as large as the US, there are going to be a whole slew of them.
I personally studied metric in elementary school and middle school. It’s what’s used for science, how could I not have? If others didn’t learn that and instead had everything in imperial, that’s news to me. It’s perfectly possible though, with just how large the US is. It does make me a bit surprised that Missouri of all states taught this, but maybe it was unique to the district.
And i studied biology and chemistry. How much of that do you think I remember after 15 years of not having to use any of it in my job?
Think we can apply the same logic to other subjects. You learn about Metric. And then you go back to never having to use it because metric just isn’t used in the daily life of the average citizen.
