My country is one of the last three holdouts in the world that hasn't yet converted
to the metric system. So, while I may use SI units for myself, I'm forced to use the
so-called "customary" system whenever I need to report or discuss measurements
with anyone else. The reason that I don't use SI units to any greater extent in my
daily life is that nobody around me is using them.
