Yes, that. Just because I'm surrounded by people who use the inferior system does not mean I have to walk in lockstep, even if it really only acts as a symbolic move. Anytime I use metrics I'll always hear "how much is that in *insert dumb measurment*" anyway.
I use metric because my profession is built around it and its much easier than switching between. Science > everyone else.
