How could you not grasp that, for example, there's 1000 grams in a kilogam, and 1000 of those in a tonne (or Metric ton), and yet you can grasp that there's 16 ounces in a pound, 14 punds in a stone, etc.?
Because you retain what you were taught early on in life. To change something as basic as units of measure is not easy.

I had to learn both because we use metric here but my parents' generation didn't, so I picked up imperial along the way so that I would understand why my mom was moaning about her weight etc.
We don't like to clutter our minds with other countries' ways of doing things.
US doesn't just stand for united states, linnie, it stands for it's all about US!
And we use imperial every day. It's on our groceries, it's on our rulers, I measure my****in inches, etc.
Metric system sucks.
no offense Linnie.
It's called imperial for a reason.

Well, taz, so do I, but if you measured it in metric it would sound bigger.
I was referring to my height. I don't know why it got astricked out.
weird.
