It’s weird, because small units I think about it cm, not imperial.

I'm the same actually, I'm probably more likely to say 1cm than half an inch

Millimeters as well for you? It’s probably because having to use fractions is so much less intuitive.

Millimeters especially, no way am I saying like "1/24th of an inch"
