I can imagine how this goes: Most of the world adopts Tau, the US refuses and stays with Pi and the UK starts to switch to Tau but stops half way through leaving somethings using Tau and others still using Pi.

I find confusing that Pi has two legs and Tau just one, but Tau is supposed to be twice Pi...

First things first, put tau on the standard scientific calculator. Then it will get used.

The key word there was "clarity." It would make SO much more sense for students learning the unit circle.

Tau is better than Pi because with Tau you actually get two Pi's for your money... Delicious.

The confusion (and eventual resistance) begins when you define Tau in terms of Pi.
