   Nah, that would be too inconvenient.  Think of all the 
things that wouldn't sound right.....

Jazz musician 1.609 Kilometers Davis
453.6 grams cake
Denver's 1609 Meter High Stadium
.3048 meter long hot dogs
"In for a penny, in for .4536 kilograms"

That's just for starters, I could go on and on.  As long
as you metrically inclined folks don't go getting goofy
with scovilles (scovigrams, scoviliters, scovometers)
there won't be any trouble.
