Personally I haven't seen people being sensitive, but I'm sure some are, because people are weird. But it's just a fact that the metric system is, as a system, superior. And it's annoying having to convert to or from a lousy system just because a couple of countries refuse to leave it behind.

Life is a complex beast. Nothings gonna change it. In the end the US is just a mixing pot of ideas and cultures. There’s always gonna be some shit you hate about it.
