Unless it's mandatory, such as in military or aviation, then they are happy with it and feel like part of a special in-group.

French people did metric, meanwhile they prefer "four-twenty and fourteen" to "ninety-four."

Shouldn't the real smarties be using 10-hour days using metric time? 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute.
