And they will continue to mean nothing because not even sciency articles bother to use SI. Save a concerted effort to learn, obviously. A meter is about 3 feet or one yard and a litre is about a quart, if that helps.

Kind of a broad statement, no? Humans who are used to imperial units, sure. To folks not accustomed to them it seems at times that "imperialists" measure everything in football fields…
> […] but I really do prefer imperial measurements.
Do you prefer them in an objective comparison or out of habit? SI units are, I think, easier to use because of the decimal-basedness and simpler conversions.
