I like in the US and am from EU. As a result, while I try to ask for things in imperial units, I happen to ask for tools and related things in metrics from time to time. My experience is as follow: - most people actually just get me exactly what I want - nobody ever complained "why do you ask metrics, you're in the US we use imperial!!", ever - nobody ever told me "I don't know what that makes in inches, do you know it in inches?" (or similar), ever So while I'm just one person and all, I still have a feeling this could eventually work.
