Actually, it is. It is just difficult for us because we have always used the American/English system, but SI units make a lot more sense when one is converting from one unit to another. For example, figuring out how many millimeters that x meters equals just requires moving of the decimal point -- no paper or electronic calculations needed -- whereas going from inches to feet requires division that many people can't do in their head.
