I had to learn the English engineering system, where the unit of mass is the "slug" (about 32 pounds, or a little over 2 stone) and the unit of force was the pound-force. Or the other English engineering system where the unit of mass is the pound-mass and the unit of force is the poundal. That, with calories and BTUs, made me a convert to SI (mks) metric fairly quickly. Even today, I convert from English units to metric, perform my calculation, and then convert back as needed.
In air and sea travel, I had to learn nautical miles (larger than statute miles) but memorized the conversion (1.852 km). It turns out there was a valid reason to define a nautical mile.
Ugh. I thought switching from metric to standard over and over was miserable
Try equating calories to British Thermal Units.
Ugh. Conversion is a good way to spaz perfectly good data. It is sneaky cuz ya think it is easy and or you just forget all together
