Metric System & The US
For non-Americans, there are many difficult things to be adapted to their lives during staying in the USA. Besides the language barrier, most difficult thing could be the weights and measures. Most of the world uses the metric system which is the international standard units. However, the USA does not use metric system, so many foreigners need to calculate the US customary units to metric units for understanding. Also, for Americans, there are many problems caused by using different units, but it is not easy to adapt to the metric system.
Through this project, I will give audiences information about the differences between the two systems. The website shows important units with classification and how to calculate between two units within each classification.

America does not use Metric System. Therefore, when non-Americans visit the US first time…
They suffer from the unfamiliarity with US customary units.
Actually, the US tried to introduce Metric system many times.
However, changing the custom of long standing is so difficult.
