I am envious of people in other countries that use the #metric system.
Here in the USA, we still use measurements of bananas, washing machines, religious chicken sauce packets, elephants, and so called "football" stadiums.
Consider yourself lucky that measurements can easily be quantized in units of ten for scientific and engineering scales and people know what the hell you are talking about.
