		<description>Whoah!
Hats-off for for your in depth and rigorous psychoanalysis.
I guess I must have touched a sensitive nerve!
Although I don&#039;t think wikipedia qualifies as a reliable source by any means!

I am of an age such that I use both systems with equal ease.
The only reason I still need to use imperial is US hard hardheadedness.
 
The arrogant accusation is a reasonable response to &quot;eurolovers&quot; as a description of SI users.

Imperial is more user friendly at a certain scale, inch, foot, pounds and miles to a certain degree. 
But SI is without contest much better adapted to theorectical, scientific and overall paperwork.
Not to mention unit transfers from weight to force to volumes to sizes etc.

One way to keep the inch pound pint measurements relevant and useful would be to SI them:
Make one inch = exactly 25mm instead of 24.5
One mile exactly 1.5Km instead of 1.6
One pound = exactly one half kilogram instead on 2.2 lbs/Kg
One gallon exactly four liters. (Therefore exactly 8lbs (on earth) )

In other words, go SI and give certain key measurements imperial names.

But I am not holding my breath.
You have some seriously more important issues to deal with.

Cheers to you</description>
