This is hilarious.  But it’s also true about “establishing new reference points”.  I remember when Canada started changing over to metric they did it little by little. I was about 17 when the temperatures switched to Celsius and I made a conscious effort to change my reference points instead of constantly “translating”. And it worked.  In fact, I stopped being able to relate to Fahrenheit temperatures at all. I wasn’t quite so successful with length, speed and volume but, since I moved to Spain, I no longer relate to pounds and ounces.

How about you? Are you metricised?
