Metric measurements just make sense. I never understood why the US does not adapt and use this system. I was glad my engineering education used it, so that once again, I felt back at home using the metric system. Ask any US born engineer and they will likely tell you that if they had been using the metric system all their lives, they wouldn't have had to waste all that time trying to learn it in college for physics, etc..
