^^^ EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read this post!
Was never a problem to me. But I studied science and engineering back in college so the metric system was something of a no brainer.
The brits successfully converted BOTH their measurements and monetary systems from archaic to metric, relatively recently. We were a leader in a metric monetary system but could never get our measurements there.
Pity.
