People don't seem to realize that the whole world hasn't gone fully metric/SI just yet. How big are the rims on your cars? How big are your monitors? The fact that sheets of steel world wide come in 8 foot x 4 foot size sheets by standard. All piping around the world is measured in inches and welded with a 3.2mm (or 1/8 inch) weld.

The imperial system is well and truly alive world wide, not just in the USA.

But yes, i do hate having to convert whenever the situation comes up. Bastards. ;)
