I'm fully bilingual when it comes to farenheit/imperial measure and metric/celcius scale. In Canada it's a must.
But no matter how long metric has been in place, my answer to the question "How tall are you?" is always going to be 6' 4". When asking about a vehicle's fuel efficiency it's always going to be "What kind of MILEAGE does she get?"
Some things are sacred.
