I would not deny what you say. I am used to working in imperial and don't find it difficult. Working in metric would not be more difficult as far as I am concerned though.
I still prefer to stick to our own units.

Yeah, this is what I was going on about earlier. The media use the units that are the higher (or lower) amount - whichever heightens the story more - so as to sensationalise said story.
On momentarily glancing at
10 cm, it looks more 'shocking' than
4 inches.

Well yes.
But I, myself, always likes to work this particular conversion out to the 1/1000th. Because I'm like that.
