Hi, I use metric calipers and micrometers fine so there is at least one. eality is that it depends on what you are most familiar with that comes naturally. Here in New Zealalnd, a persons height is normally in feet, distance in kilometers, and pressure in PSI. Aviation will always be in...

Had a big problem with this with firearms safes in New Zealand. Certain types of license require 6mm thick steel safe. The prototype for approval was 6mm, the rest ere 4 or 5 mm.
