I mostly use English Units, but I'm getting more comfortable with the metric system.

Now, what I find funny is when in the US and using imported equipment rather than have the speed limit in metric they convert it into mph.

I mostly use metric system, except I'm less than 50km away from the US border, so pop and buildings come in imperial. Metric is much easier to count by...furlongs and russian miles, gwarg...

I use the second one. Sometimes I use the "US" method when I'm talking to people from the states.

I've been converting them some much back and forth, that I can pretty much use both.

There both easy to easy to use once you find something to relate them to.

Well since the US is retarded and has to be different/impractical I use US measurements.

It's always angered me that the US feels that it's necessary to use a different set of measurements than the rest of the world. I just feel like it isolates us from the rest of the world and I just don't understand why the US would want that.

I am able to understand the metric system for the most part though. Mostly since I've talked to so many people from other countries.
