For a lot of us, particularly in countries that weren't conquered by
Napoleon, gallons, feet and psi make a lot more intuitive sense than
litres, metres (not meters, please - you read those) and pascals. And
given that those were the units used for a lot of the matters being
discussed here, it makes even more sense to keep them that way. Go down
the road of conversion and somebody soon will be asking what the cost of
Apollo was in Euros!


Currency is different altogether. It's truly amazing here how quick the
changeover to decimal currency was, and yet how slow the metrication process
has been. Yet the benefits are exactly the same.
