The united states would spend an lot of money on big sings and it will take an long time to tear down the old sings down that is why I think the united states dose not swich to the metric system. https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157624516 2017-03-03 14:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157624516 BRIANNA: https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157625194 I think the US still uses the customary system of measurement because,the US is not used to the metric system and it would be hard to get used to another.The positive side of the customary side is the US knows what it is,They know gallons,pints,cups.pounds,and ounces,The negative side of the customary system is everyone but the US uses the metric system.The metric system is going to be liters,grams,and kilograms.Another negative thing about the customary system is the US does not have enough money  too pay for the metric system it cost to much.]]> 2017-03-03 14:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157625194 hunter J https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157625695 I think the US still uses the customary system because the US is used to the customary system and it would be hard to try to learn a whole new system all at once. The customary and metric system both have positive and negative side though like one positive side for the customary would be that the US is used to it and know how to use it but a negative side would be that its an old system and harder to convert from inches to feet and feet to inches.The metric system has positive and negative sides to here`s one positive side is its easier to convert from cm to m and m to cm and i don`t really think there`s a negative side for the metric system other than the fact the fact it would be hard to learn a whole new system for the US.

And if we started using it it would be expenceive because we would have to make all new ruler's and yardsticks. The positive side of the customary is that we know it already. The negative side of the coustomary is that there is to much to learn. The postive side of the metric is that there is not to much to remember. The negative side of the metric system is that there is to much to learn and it will be hard to learn. ]]> 2017-03-03 14:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157625778 gunner https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157626381 What I think is the US still uses the customary system is we are used to the customary system and it will be hard to use a different system.The positive side of the customary system is most of the conversions are easy to remember.The negative side is it is harder to do.The positive side of the metric system is it a easy system.The negative side of the metric system is]]> 2017-03-03 14:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157626381 I think the United States still uses the customary system of measurement instead of the metric system because its hard to change something after you have done it for years and it can be hard to change something after you have memorized it.The positive side of the metric system is it deosn't have as much to remember but the negative side of it is we are not used to it ,and the positive side of the customary side is the US has had it for years and years but the negative side of the customary system is there are a lot of things to memorize https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157626452 Kirstin ]]> 2017-03-03 14:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tabithamichelle38/customary/wish/157626452 Chase Brock: I think United States still uses the customary system because they are more used to using it. The good thing about the customary system is that people are able to remember since people have used it for a very long time. the bad thing about it is it takes a longer time to do it tn the metric system.
