As an American engineer, I almost invariably convert my "real world" units into the metric system, solve the problem, and then translate the solution back into the units that are used in my country. Cumulatively, it's a significant competitive disadvantage for a nation, but it's easier than trying to solve problems in nonsensical and arbitrary imperial units, and it's apparently easier than trying to convince Americans to accept the logical system of measurement that's used by the rest of the planet.
Forget measuring cutting speed in mm per second. What is it in furlongs per fortnight?
