    Well, even the USA uses metric in every science and discipline that requires precision. Thus, many engineers are forced to use both. Metric for accuracy, and imperial to explain the measurements to their boss/clients/contractors

    I have no idea how long any measurement is, so I just measure things in Kirbys. Kirby, the video game character, is 20 cm (or about 8 in.) tall. I have a plushie of Kirby that’s pretty much exactly that height, so I have a physical frame of reference. Every time I need to measure something, I just imagine Kirby next to it. One meter? That’s 5 Kirbys. One foot? Around 1.5 Kirbys. Easy.

    2:46 Fun fact about that Air Canada flight: They found out about their low fuel situation mid-air, and like most people, went to the manual to see what to do. However, the writers of that manual just kinda... never included what to do when your plane has no fuel. They were then directed to another airport, but realized they didn't have enough fuel to get there.
    Fortunately, the pilot knew of an abandoned airstrip, and tried landing there. However, turns out that the airstrip had been converted. Into a drag racing strip. Where currently. There is a drag race going on.
    Fortunately, the plane was able to land, despite the fact that the front landing gear didn't lock in place and went back into the plane, it actually caused the plane to lower on the ground, and the friction helped stop the plane, so yay!

      I mean America uses metric for international affairs (science, business, etc.) just not locally
      Besides that's changing too, just slowly, "inch by inch" if you will
      Additionally when you tell someone to do something they're quite unlikely to listen, this isn't an American trait, it's a human trait, the only reason I listen and try to use both is because no one told me too, I just learned in in school
      Plus it's not exactly easy for me, sure conversions are easy, but to me I don't have a good idea what a Kg feels like, what a km looks like
      Life is more than just raw data, it's also how the brain uses that data
      (addionally the only downside is that metric is unnatural and must be taught, since humans are wired to count, measure and perceive in multiples, not units, this is likely evolutionary because oh what's the difference between 51 and 50 wolves, well not much
      But 1 or 2 wolves is either bad or 100% worse)
      One of the biggest annoyances about metric harkers is that they completely forgot that science tells us why the US is taking so long, give us time and be nicer and it'll probably happen sooner

      I don't know if you're aware but you were taught how imperial works as well, people don't slide out of the womb with the innate knowledge of how many inches go into a foot go into a yard go into a mile, if you're talking about what's easier to understand then I'd say multiples of ten are comparatively pretty simple to get your head around. Remarks like that are part of why people make fun of Americans that defend imperial in the first place; they're seemingly born entirely out of the fact you know one system because it was taught to you in grade school and barely even knew what the other system was until you were a teenager at the earliest, of course you think imperial is more intuitive (the other part that gets them mocked is that they're usually much more obnoxious at getting their point across because differing opinions on arbitrary systems make people extremely defensive).
      Like, I can even empathise with your struggle to visualise and convert from imperial to metric naturally; I grew up in a household that uses feet and stone despite living in a country that entirely uses metric, but even then metric is _leagues_ easier to grasp because you literally only need to learn one unit and you can convert it up and down by shifting the decimal point, it's not remotely "unnatural" (or at least no less natural than any other system of measurement).
