If you were asked out of the blue how many feet there were in a mile, would you know? If you were asked how many... umm... pints in a gallon, would you be able to answer without intensive thought?

Hmm... I suppose you're right, but I actually do know those things. BUT, that's only because I was taught that in elementary when we were studying metric units. We had to learn that material to pass.
I do understand what you're getting at, and I have to say you're right, and the other asker. I misunderstood at first what he was saying.
