Pros:
* We're already halfway there (medicine, some beverages, electronics, military, sciences, interstate 19)
* Super easy, stress-free conversion
* More logical freezing/boiling temps
* Easier conversations with Canadians/Europeans/etc
* Can now describe driving distances in terms of "clicks"
* {Hand} sizes seem bigger *wink wink*

Cons:
* Changing a shitton of signage
* Dum-dums freaking out and/or not learning no matter how hard you try to teach them
* Certain expressions rendered insensible, ruins that Proclaimers song

Quote* Changing a shitton of signage

The metal/plastic is already there. We just need to make decals to go over the current numbers. As those are usually wildly redundant economy of scale would kick in to a point.

I believe all US cars currently have a dual scale on the speedometer?

Yeah, the phrase "A miss is as good as one point six kilometers" doesn't exactly roll trippingly off the tongue...

I suppose it would have to be "A miss is as good as a klick."

Let's see...

  • Give him a centimeter and he'll take a kilometer.
  • A gram of protection is worth a kilo of cure.
  • The whole nine meters.

I think I'm going to start using some of those to see what reactions they get.  :D

And the band Nine Inch Nails would become Twenty-Three Centimeter Nails, of course.
