I think they began at least teaching the metric system more than they use to in school. I don’t ever remember being taught the metric system. I have a conversion chart I have to refer to often.

The US also spells many words differently than other countries who use English as their primary language. For instance…most are taught to spell realize with a ‘z’…but the proper European spelling, which was the original way to spell it…is with an ‘s’…realise.

Other examples are: favor vs favour…there are many words like favor of which the American spelling omits the ‘u’.

I’m bored and rambling, hahaha.
