I'm originally from the US. Since living in Europe, I can't believe how much easier the metric system is. I can not convert between the two so I dropped imperial. The only time I deal with it is when I call family in the states.

I do recall, when I was a kid, they tried to convert the US to metric, but it failed miserably.

It's actually UK legacy. UK moved to metric but US didn't.
