I hope you were sarcastic. Metric system is worldwide not an EU thing and while it was initially just as arbitrary picked as the imperial one it scales linearly in base 10 so you can do conversions mentally without breaking a sweat. I'm curious if you could just as easily convert inches-feet-yards off the top of your head?

When it comes to ounces/quarts/pints/gallons though, I'm completely baffled. Give me microliters please: even if I have no idea how to conceive of that now, I know how to convert it trivially.
