My wife's mascara suggests that it will make her lashes 4 mm longer, and my mountain bike handlebars are 400 mm ;-) Little-by-little, day-by-day...
...though there are some adjustments...I am in the US, but have been using SI since the 1970s. I had to go to Canada to buy metric tape measures and folding rules. When I say that my HF antenna is a 40 m EF wire, I get a lot of hams here thinking at first that I have a wire dedicated to 40 m, not a wire 40 m long. I find metric so much easier in so many areas of my life, not least radio.
