Re: Actually...
A good example of 'everything else' is actually in volume measurements - all the packages in grocery stores go by grams, liquid by litres/millilitres, etc. Gas is sold by the litre, too. It's just height and weight, for the most part, that're off (and baking, too; most people still use imperial measurement for that, but only because the conversion between metric and imperial measurements royally fucks over baked goods, and most recipes are written in imperial).
