I made the transition to the metric system fairly late in life (moved overseas) and here are some tricks I discovered to make the metric system "feel" right to me. - A liter is equal to four of my kitchen's 1 cup measuring cups. Sort of. Close enough for government work. - My feet are around 25cm. Four of my feet are a meter. Sort of. - 0C is cold, 10C is brisk and I need a jacket, 20C is so nice out, 30C is hot, 40C I want to die from sweat, 50C I will die. That's all it took for me to orient myself in the metric system. Metric not that hard to use on an every day basis.
