There are some people who would not touch metric measurement with a 3.048 meter pole, but I think it is a good system, once you get used to it.

Unfortunately, I am not used to it.

I remember a European who immediately knew how far light would travel in a microsecond, because approximately 300,000 km/sec is so easy to convert, while I struggled with converting 186,000 miles/second to inches per microsecond. Obviously metric has huge advantages once you get used to it.

I can deal with metric distances due to being on a track team a long time ago, but do not have an immediate understanding of volume or weight when expressed in metric.

Metric distances are apparent to me, but when somebody mentions 3 liters or 50 grams, my mind draws a blank until I get out my calculator and do a conversion to gallon or pounds.

If I had to deal with it every day, i suppose i would get used to metric, and it does seem much more logical.
