That is what's happening but unfortunately there was a tremendous
number of "boomers" born into "tradition" in the 50's. They resisted
change in the 70's when America made a significant effort to get
standardized on both decimal and metric standards. Fortunately many
are now retiring and their tools are wearing down and being replaced
with digital equipment which makes the conversion process simpler.
Eventually America will migrate completely to the metric system
however it will probably take another 60 years.
