ELI5: why is the US the only country, apart from Liberia and Burma, not to have adopted the International System of units?

The short answer about this is that the US *has* officially adopted it. But nobody wants to use it. There's no public will to actually change everything over to standard units, so that doesn't happen. 

But if you talk to scientists, or medical personnel, they will tell you that they use metric at work.
