I too think in feet and inches- my foot is a foot long, and I'm six feet tall. I can measure anything using either a foot or a fraser. And I'd like a pound of Steak, not 454 grams. If the Americans can get to the moon using feet and inches it should be good enough for anybody.
I would hope that there is some sort of registry key where this can be specified. I will seek, but maybe someone else has already found?
