The people did not change. There was a brief period when there was some confusion, and there may have been some profiteering during the transition but nearly everyone came through unscathed. Even countries with poor educational achievement succeeded in the transition. Only the US (along with some minor countries), somehow, is incapable of the switch.

What mectric unit would be used to measure a the length of a table?
The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) started in 1926 and the Laws of Table Tennis included all measurements in imperial units only (feet and inches). In 1937, the metric (metres, centimetres & millimetres) equivalent were added alongside the imperial measurements. In 1947, the metric measurements were made the primary units of measurement with imperial measurements secondary. In 1975 the imperial measurements were omitted from the Laws completely and all measurements were stated in metric units only.
