It's funny because I was initially raised with English units and then somewhere durgin my youth everything got switched over to metric (in Canada).
For a lot of things it went fine such as speed (KM/h) and I prefer working in mm than mils on PCB etc.
But there some stuff I have a hard time getting used to. Like for a person's height and weight. I still use feet and pounds.
But when buying meat/produce or whatever at a supermarket I work in grams and kilos.

So I guess it will still take one more genberation to totally sink in!

Cheers,
Mike

P.S. Has this thread ever gone it so many weird directions or what!
