Not an easy switch, but think about this while the rest of the world using the litre, and metre when the world's largest publisher of English books, The USA, is throwing imperial measurments at us from every direction.
In Australia and other such nations we are taught how to convert from one to the other. If you can remember three things; that 452 grammes is 1 pound, and 32 mililitre/grammes is 1 ounce, and 1 inch is 2.54 centimetres you'll be fine. Your nation will have to go through a transition, use both for a decade or so, and change capital goods slowly.
The world is bigger than the US.
