I know, but I was raised American so it still confuses me...
Don't raise your children American if you don't want them to be innumerate in metric! (Innumerate= illiterate but with numbers, and it's totally a
real thing)
I do my design work in metric and most of my tools are in metric, but i have issues sometimes getting stuff like metric sheet metal! (it's a real
thing! You have to pay way extra to get 1mm or other metric thickness sheet metal)
And it can actually turn into a really big deal if you don't know it's happening and work in compensation for it.
