Well, hmmmm. Because MPH sounds cooler than KPH? Honestly, it's prolly nothing more than that. Wich sounds dumb I admit, but is so typically American.
I have a basic understanding of metrics, so I at least have an idea what people are talking about when they use metrics. Allthough it's still fun to stare blankly at them cause it drives them nuts.
Americans have this burning desire to be different... we also have this burning desire to make everyone else on earth like us...the irony is not lost on me here. Still, American's are made, not born..so technically..anyone can become an American.
