    The USA uses both and it would be nice if things (like soda) didn’t have to list two measurements

    The solution is to fully switch to metric

      I agree. My point was about if a population needed to do a measurement system from the ground up.

        And it’s a stupid point. A measurement system can’t “get lost”. There will always be artifacts left to reestablish it, like a piece of measuring tape or a cup with markings on it.
