    I have a better idea: just use metric.

    I try to fully metrify my workplace and my teammates are receptive because everyone knows imperial units suck.

      But then whenever you’re making anything with wood you need to convert everything. Or looking up any recipes online you’ll need to convert. I almost feel like the mash up is easier than fully metric.

        It’s getting better every year. I’m in the same boat, but my kids are almost entirely metric. My mom only uses metric for speed. If America switches to metric we’ll lose the pressure from their imported products and that would be the death knell for imperial in Canada. So, not in my lifetime.
