> I guess, after all there's a reason the international science community adopted the metric system. There are a few big exceptions - physics with eV, astronomy with just about a whole new imperial system, warts and all, and the most brazen is chemists who've managed to squeeze the mole in to the SI system despite its being entirely redundant and depending on two (2!) different mass units - the kg and the amu. So I'd say some big subgroups of the science community really haven't adopted the metric system.
