Actually I am quite surprised the US hasn't converted to metric yet but I guess we are a stubborn lot.
Drug dealers work with metric units from what I have heard. The 9mm handgun is supposed to be popular with them also. :)

Another reason to not like the 9mm!
In all seriousness, in engineering school we all had to use the metric system, and then convert back to English units.
In my various jobs, I have had to use them interchangeably.
