Use metric once and you'll never go back.

the government tried to force metric on the people of Canada but it didn't
stick. The British Empire gave us nice neat whole fractions. The French
Empire gave us confusing non-terminating decimals.

My generation of Canadians is somewhere in between. We think of
distances and weights in metric, except when it comes to the height
and weight of people. This is because our parents, being
Imperial-thinking, always spoke of our height in feet and inches.

If you asked me how tall I am in centimeters, I wouldn't know. But if
you ask me how far it is to Montreal in miles, I wouldn't know,
either.

Metric really is superior, imho. At the mill, we saw to Imperial
standards, because that's how the market works, but we use centimeters
internally to keep track of the cut.
