    Too bad they didn’t keep their very own system of measurement which is so much more convenient than the internationally recognized and simple system… Not looking in anybody’s direction

      The article says the international system will be used in some settings, but the traditional system will continue to be used in other settings. In general, people won’t be forced to switch to a system they are not accustomed to… Not looking in anybody’s direction

          Buddy, English is my native language, and I also have the same problem. Don’t sweat it.
