Actually, the inch (and probably other) US system measurements have been
DEFINED as a function of the metric system since the '70s (an inch is now
EXACTLY 25.4mm, not 25.400051... as it was previously).  So the inch is
therefor a metric unit!

Personally, I use miles for distance, meters for altitude, liters for fuel,
ounces for (most) liquid food products (and some dry), grams for most dry
food products (and some liquid), and whatever temperature scale that happens
to be convenient at the time.
