Hrm. I tend to think in Imperial for things like screen sizes, people
heights and such, but then go into metric for everything else...
Though, I suppose an interesting unit I saw was someone gave me their
weight in stones - I can do kilograms and pounds (no ounces, sorry),
but stones... all I know is that it's a unit of weight, but that's it.
As a pilot in Canada, things get *very* interesting since there's a
lot of mixed units floating around (logbook's in imperial (gallons,
pounds). Gas from the gas truck is in litres. Gets you limber in
dealing with all sorts of units except the more esoteric ones).
