I don't think it makes a big difference which system you 'officially' use. Canada switched in the 70's. I was entirely educated in the metric system. Many things about it are easier. For most calculations and science related things it's considerably easier... but I find that for most day to day things I prefer using imperial measurements. All of our sinage is in KM... speed limits, distance, etc. When I want to know how fast I'm going I think in KM. When I want to know how far I'm going, I think in miles. That's probably a reflection of me generally averaging about a mile per minute and I know how long I takes me to get somewhere tho...
I beleive if you were to go changing the system you'll simply end up with a hodgepodge like we have. Most of us get on perfectly well like this too.
