Give it another generation or two and I bet we'll be completely 'converted'.
I'm in my seventies. I was taught in Imperial units. Then CGS, then MKS, and finally, SI.I'm blessed/cursed with a pretty memory for numbers and conversion factors. Quite useful as an engineer I suppose but others have leant on it
But you are probably right. I'm sometimes just a wee bit surprised how long it is taking. My kids, the youngest is 37, still use Imperial for some things.
