Switching to the metric system in the US could initially create confusion and require re-education of the population. It may also involve significant costs to modify infrastructure, tools, and systems that currently use the imperial system. Additionally, there may be resistance from some individuals or industries who are familiar with the imperial system.

The Metric System.
The unit of length, meters, belongs to both the US Customary System and the metric system.
The US has not converted to the Metric System yet. We are still using the English Customary.
The unit of mass, the kilogram, is a part of both the US customary system and the metric system. In the US customary system, pounds are used for mass measurement, while the metric system uses kilograms.
The only unit that appears in both the modern SI (metric) system and the old fashioned system is the second.
Only the US uses the metric system. Hope it helped :D
