Oh no, we're leaps & bounds ahead of the Yanks.  At least we know the
metric system exists (I blame Ronald Reagan for the US), and if you insist
loudly, you can actually buy metric bolts at ytour local hardware store.

The Americans won't use metric (essentially decimal) but use pica (1/10"),
1/000 inch in machining, and of course, the good old micron.  Not to
mention the $.  Weird.

I figure if you can count your change correctly, you're ready for metric.
