Here in Argentina we are almost totally metrical. No other system is learned at school. However, there are few notorious exceptions, like plumbering and carpenters, where pipes and wood thickness is usually measured in inches, and you can request wood length in feet. Inches, 'pulgadas' (thumbs) in spanish, is the only imperial unit widely known here. Almost everybody knows is 2.54cm.
Of course, despite the nautical and aeronautical units used internationally..
I don't see anybody complaining about the time measurement system wich is less than decimal. 1 year has 12 months, an historically generated mess count of days in each month, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute. Thanks for the 100 year per century and 1000 per millenium!

Dont blame the nanobots. We are the plague!
I would send my spam with spoofed addresses taken from the same pool of victim addresses who will receive my crap. This way, I will be generating a faked social network, surpasing this algorithm...
