If this idiot is incapable of navigating between measuring systems, then the problem isn't SI or Imperial measurements, it's her dumb ass!!!

I was born in SI land, came to Imperial land, and I can easily switch between systems. It takes practice, but I was able to do it. When I see temperatures, lengths, weights I always make the exercise of converting to the other system. If I see a temperature in Fahrenheit, I always make the mental conversion to Celsius.

The world is split, but not for me.

Converting from Fahrenheit to centigrade requires a complex formula, while converting from kilometers to miles is relatively easy--10 kilometers equals six miles.
