There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

SI units for me. However at uni I do like to use odd units for speed of light just to confuse people. 1.8x10^12 furlongs per fortnight. Gotta love odd units.

I think YC and TW have got it spot on. Human vs science. I do about the same - if you gotta judge or guess, its imperial. If you gotta calculate, its metric. Horses for courses.

22 yards in a chain, 10 chains in a furlong, 8 furlongs in a mile

At work I use metric, the rest of the time I tend to use imperial. I am perfectly comfortable using both as the situation demands.

Pounds, shillings and pence, anyone?
