Didnt like it and didnt want to learn it.
I am shocked that your reason is a dumb reason.

Absolutely love big cities and all the attractions they offer, but when I've seen the sights its time to go home.

I was in school during the attempted switch-over and they went about it in a completely reeruned way. Instead of just switching to it and going forward, they spent all of their time teaching conversions (1 inch = 2.54 centimeters). It was stupid and pointless and traumatized a whole generation of American kids.

When I was in college working towards my engineering degree, I learned to quickly hate the American measuring system, especially once you got up into units of force and things like that. The SI (metric) units are sooooo much easier to deal with and actually make sense. My son is in college for engineering now and he was home last weekend and was bitching about the same thing.

I bet that is why Easy 6 is traumatized

Exactly right. Just mandate the switch. Anybody that needs to know how to convert can get it figured out. Teaching 12 year olds how to convert is pointless. They can just be on the metric system exclusively as adults and ignore the old system. Two generations later we're on the same system as the ENTIRE REST OF THE FRICKING WORLD and it's done.

English units are a PITA when doing engineering calculations.

Metric units are a PITA when dealing with things we already have a feel for, like distance, personal weight and recipes.

But then, both are a PITA when factoring in time, sinusoidals or angular momentum.
