The biggest issue with swapping to metric I'm aware of isn't the people getting used to it as much as the massive monetary and labor cost of replacing signs/notices/etc around the whole country

    Nah it's public opinion. People don't want to change. The costs are annoying, but we can budget for them. We tried to metricate at the same time as Canada. They had less money per person than us but succeeded because they didn't have a large mass of people unwilling to learn and change.
