Even though I was born in America and grew up there, I feel the pain also. I`ve been in Japan long enough that metric comes first, and if I have to convert I try to think back and recall what it would feel like in the imperial measurements. So I just end up guessing with a lot of things - doing real conversions is too much of a pain. Especially as I`ve forgotten about half the imperial units... Pint? Quart? I honestly no longer have a solid grasp on them.

Clothes sizes are also killing me - Japan uses cm measurements for most clothing, and I have no idea what they convert to in US sizes. Relatives offer to send me clothes and such (for me and my son) but I never have a clue what size to say.
