      I lived in North America for ~10 years, the whole time I still converted miles / pounds / fahrenheit into real units in my head.

      To this day, feet/yards etc. sounds like made up measures to me.

      As long as you’ve taken science/math in school, you should be able to piece it together. No one uses imperial units for computation really, especially in academia. Also if you say 17 KMPH, most will read it as 17 kilometers per hour…even those steeped in the metric system. Please attack the American education system in general and “no child left behind” instead of our choice of distance/speed units on road signs.
