I can't say I dislike the metric system but for me, at 58 YO, I still
think in MPG, (somewhat in MPH but for obvious reasons in KPH),
Fahrenheit, lbs, inches but, what little work I did and do with metal,
with callipers, I use mm but a combo square, ruler, inches. Odd eh?

Can't recall exactly when metric was introduced in school but there
certainly was a push to get us to switch over.
