We're quite bi-polar in Canada. How much do you weigh? 200lbs. How fast do you drive on the freeway? 110km/h. How tall are you? 6 feet. How much milk is in a big plastic jug? 2 litres. It goes on and on.
The original Imperial system had some base-10. There are 10 pounds of water in an Imperial gallon.
I'm sure that SAE machinists would have preferred the Metric system over thousands of an inch. It's really the same concept, without any fractions.
