I personally use the metric system in my work, and am the only person in the company that does so.

I have a fondness for the mile and mile per hour because these are connected to driving in the U.S..

I work with the metric system because I am designing optical components, millimeters as my standard unit just works better for this.

One thing about the English system is the different measurements are often sized around practical use for that measurement.
