I agree that miles, pounds, feet and inches might persist for a good while, but nothing else will. We no longer use Cubits for example. because they are stupid.

Im only 36, but even i see the drastic reduction in the use of imperial by kids. A lot do know their height in cm now. My generation seems to be the one of conversion, knowing both, and converting. The next generation only learns metric.

I get the feeling Martin that it IS about johnny foreigner for you. If WE had created metric you would be all for it. Stop stressing, we invented everything else!
