In her article http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2013/03/21/metric-system_n_2923997.html, ila Nordstrom states that she believes customary units are better for estimating the dimensions of things in everyday life. How do those of you in countries where the metric system predominates think and speak in meters? What language do you use? If, for example, you are comparing the height of a refrigerator to your own height, do you think of it as being "several centimeters" different from you height?
