True
False

Answer 1

`\Huge \boxed{\boxed{\textbf{False}}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

For a number of reasons, the United States has yet to fully adopt the metric system. Early American leaders like Thomas Jefferson were hesitant to adopt the first metric system created during the French Revolution because they felt it was too French and dependent on French land.

Also, the metric system faced criticism when it was imposed by governments in opposition to the desires of the people in several countries, sparking disruptions and a revolt. The metric system was viewed by the American public as elitist and a waste of resources, despite early 20th century efforts and recognition of its advantages in terms of global uniformity for trade and investment, who preferred the nation to take the initiative rather than follow others.

Customary measures have ingrained themselves significantly in American society, reflecting the diversity of the country. Despite the benefits of a global measurement system, the United States has kept its own system as a part of its sense of self. Similar to knowing various languages, understanding the benefits of both traditional and metric measurements can be helpful.
