I learnt Imperial up until year 9 at school, from year 10 on, we did Metric. So much easier.
Try explaining what a bushel is and what volume it is? How long is a Rod? How big is a pearch? Gallons; Imperial or US? Chains & links, CWT, short or long, Imperial or US, tons, long or short?
Temperature in Celcies;, 0=0. In Imperial, 0=32 deg. That makes a lot of sense, not.
The only things that are not effected by Metric are, Pootheenths, Beesdicks, smidgionss and fairy's foreskins, all being a very small measure.
The Yanks will never use Metric because of the above mentioned communist link. Where's McCarthy when you need him.
We might have to call you a yank in training.
