For an engineer it's quite an anventure throughout your career discovering how many "languages" people speak: imperial, metric, IEC, ANSI, metric thread, NPT thread, all the units and industrial standards. And still foreign ISS parts mate in orbit on their first date. Or ITER parts fit toghether in plant. That's electrifying and inspiring.
