I had almost forgotten about this thread that I started. Great posts, folks! I still think that SI units are the way to go. If somebody does not want to learn SI units, he or she (she or he?) should stay far away from the sciences.

I like English measurements. It's not that I wasn't taught Metric or I don't know how to convert. I just like them the way they are.
Of course, English measurements are kind of cute (quaint), but they do not have much scientific utility.
