conform and go out of their way to become familiar with FFU. Some
immigrants refused to speak metric to me, even if I spoke metric to them or
asked them to.
Being from a metric country does not automatically assume metric support.

Don't forget as well that the Governor grew up in a metric country,
Austria.
And you could ask him to "terminate" the backward thinking move to
imperial units.
