Three of the more important aspects of my life already are metric - healthcare (dosages are are almost universally in mg/l and many infusions are calculated in mg per meter of body surface squared); bicycling (even American-made frames use hex bolts measured in mm); and wine (a quarto is 250 ml, a bottle is 750 ml). The other stuff, like engineering, will eventually catch up. On the other hand, the legal system is still rather British.
