It's funny really because all of our computer systems, test equip, etc. all use metric. Most technical types in the US have no problem with the metric system since they already use it. Most people who have served in the Army or Marines usually know it pretty well too since most measurements are in metric. The maritime community still uses the nautical units of measurements though. Even our sawmills mostly use metric.
