Quoted from RCA1:I would not, and I am a degreed and practicing engineer.
Our State Highway Department forced metric on everyone for about three years, and then gave up and went back to traditional units.
Everyone - contractors, engineers, suppliers, public - was relieved to go back.
I am as well. I still don't know of a good reason for the imperial system. Not being used to metric UOM is usually the biggest gripe with it. Whoever came up with pound mass and pound force should be slapped. Slugs make more sense but are equally stupid. Let's use ounces for volume and weight while we're at it.
