We are all used to the English system and it seem s to work satisfactorily. The primary reason for our change is that all of the major countries in the world are on the metric system. Canada is now in the process of changing To continue to be a world leader in import export trade, it is imperative that we follow the rest of the world. Also the metric system is more accurate and easier to learn. There is no rhyme or reason for our system of feet, yard, rods or miles. Have you ever tried to convert rods to miles?

an tens so a change of decimal point converts to the next unit. Teachers will find their job much easier as children can easily see the relationship between one unit and the next. The change will be an expensive one. It is estimated to cost around eleven billion dollars and the longer we wait the more expepsive it becomes. Changing our thinking will be the most difficult task. We will have to learn to think in centimeters rather than inches, literis rather than quarts, and kilometers rather than miles. But in the long run future generations will thank us for our efforts.
