Hallo Jason Toddman,
I know that least one Comic artist on Youtube how already use metric system and have as fare see not even ruler with one side in metric system and the other with Imperial Measurement. By way as fare I know was the both systems one problem by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Longe distance is the mile more handy than clinometer. We can also lucky foot now fix measurement not like in history that is not foot of ruling American President.

That with every new it change.
