You may get more responses from non-metric folks if you posted a conversion table.
Do you realise that the USA is about the only one out of some 230 countries in the world to use different measure systems (not just the metric, but also ISO, etc.). Well at least American scientists use them. But this obstination to resist international standards is one of the things that give a bad image to Americans around the world.
