I was definitely taught the metric system in school for the absolute reason that we would all be using the metric system once I reached adulthood. Measurements continue to be my achilles' heel. And I've forgotten most of what I've ever known about the metric system, other than it's a base 10 system (which is far easier than our system) and that a 5k is 3.2 miles. While driving in Canada I failed to realize that the signs were posted in metrics but my speedometer was in mph. Add to that that we were late for a ticketed event and I'm damn lucky I'm not still in jail!
