> I think you are confusing what you are used to vs. what is easier to learn & work with. I studied physics, schools have taught metric since at least the 1980's as part of the standard curriculum, and all goods in Britain are sold with at least metric on them. It's got nothing to do with what I'm used to as I'm more used to metric. I simply have nothing against Imperial measures because the arguments used against them are mostly absurd and they're actually useful. > It seems the issue is highly political; which is weird for an engineering topic. I can't disagree with that at all.
