While doing some recreational research I came across this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_f...nited_States#Decimal_system_based_on_the_foot
It seems a fairly interesting (and odd considering how resistant to metrication we are today) idea. So let us say that the US adopts this system early in its history. How would this effect history if at all?
