99% of it is metric. I think the biggest outlier is home care, where you go visit some grandma who's actively offended by metric, so if you tell her to take 7.5mL of something she'll just do the deer in the headlights thing, then shove the bottle up her ass.

Tell her instead that she needs to take 3 Mountain Dew caps full and suddenly she can follow instructions enough to not kill herself.

Then she shoves the Mountain Dew bottle up her ass.
