With multiple different measuring systems, there is always the risk of measuring with different units. This makes things unnecessarily complicated and confusing. Sometimes units are unintentionally left out, leaving one person thinking in one measurement and the other person in another. This would be less of a problem with one less system of measurement. Despite the fact that the metric system is a universal acceptance, Americans still use customary measurements. However, in order to easily exchange information throughout the world, American scientists use the metric system. (Sullivan pg.8) This is necessary, in order to easily communicate. When Americans would go over to Europe or Asia to build new factories, they ran into many problems due to differing units of measurement.

Increasingly, Americans were being required to produce, label, and deliver products in metric units for their foreign customers. America can be stubborn and it does like to be different, but sometimes it is better to change and conform. (William pg.2) It is clear to see that the more measuring systems there are in use, the harder it becomes to cooperate and work with other countries. There are only two measuring systems left, the metric system and the U.S. customary system. Why not get rid of unnecessary confusion and adopt the metric…

The introduction of this system required that a gallon would be exactly 231 cubic inches. From there, more rules were added that standardized length, and length in the imperial system. Many of the nations who used the imperial system, including America are being forced to convert to the metric system. This further ensures that mistranslations will not occur between businesses, people, and…
