Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Why is it that we call our units of measurement "Standard" when the rest of the world uses Metric?

The US actually started with the English system, but the English changed to metric back in the 19th century.

Seems the US likes to use it, because it is a simple standard to teach to childern and most of the educational material is setup for this method. The conversion is not as easy as just stating, OK will will now use the Metric system, but the medical field even in the US does only use the metric system.

the Us standard uses fractions and metric is based on 10, witch is a hell of a lot more easy to learn and use for anyone.

and the US is more than on its way using metric system for the last 20 years, all of our cars are using metric bolts and nuts.
