I still think in a mixture of Imperial and metric.
Weight in kg, speed in km/h but often mentally convert to mph, heights in feet and inches.
When I worked in oil exploration we would sometimes get a client that wanted all measurements in metric, so converted joints to m, gph, Barrels etc.
Trouble is, it was all USA not imperial, to metric. Here in Aus we were Imperial, but rigs were US. So short gallons, tons etc.
Didn’t the ship the USA metric rod get pirated to the Caribbean during the 19th century, and that’s why the USA didn’t go metric early on?
