    Mostly Metric, since it's what I was taught in school (I'm Canadian) but I also use inches, feet, and pounds.
    Damn US influence... ;)

    Metric, although where I work often requires Imperial.

    I am fluent in both the Imperial and Republic measuring systems.

    Depending on what project I'm working on I use a little of both, but for most everyday stuff I'm stuck with the ol' non-metric system.

    I'm more used to the Imperial system, though I prefer the metric one.

    Metric

    Much, much better. The only thing the imperial system is useful for - and that I personally use it for - is to give a person's height.

    Metric all the way. There is no use for Imperial measurements.

    Both, I guess. Metric is easier to use when doing math or science. For smaller measurements I tend to think in metric, and for larger ones I usually convert them to the Imperial system. I didn't know it was called the Imperial system though. The things you learn on the JC.... I remember learning it as the standard system of measurement and thinking that was odd because if it was standard, we wouldn't have to learn metric. :p

    Both. I'm American, so Imperial is the standard here, but Metric is more logical and is used on some things such as soda bottles. :p

    Both. It depends on what I'm measuring and for what reason.

    Imperial. But I had to learn some metric since I am living abroad now. Formulas are my friend
