You lucky, lucky, lucky bastards.  
It does suck.  Big time.  I grew up thinking in feet and inches, pounds and ounces, miles, gallons.......I bought sweets by the 1/4.......then all of a sudden the bloody government says we've gotta use metric.  Kids these days are taught in centi-bleedin'-meters, litres, kilo-bastard-grams.  All I have to remember is 27 grams is an ounce........
I blame the Germans.
