Clicks and grids

Wish we would


- But I doubt it would ever happen

- I grew up in England and learned metric. Had to learn Standard when I got to America. It was a challenge, but I know both.

Very confusing indeed


I am faster with standard now since I use it all the time, but I can pull some metric out in a quickness if I have too!

We learned both.

In school, we learned both standard and metric. Used both frequently as well.
