What are the downsides to not adopting metric system?

Asked by genjgal (1011points) June 23rd, 2013

Other than the obvious problem of inconvenience, what serious problems could not adopting the metric system hold for the US?
Could it hold us back in science and technology? Economic side effects? Any studies to prove your point?

On the other hand, could there be any benefits to not adopting the metric system?
