Even though he was raised on inches, feet and yards, my husband taught school for 29 years, so he can think in centimetres, but I can't. In my working years, we measured width in picas and points, and depth in inches. 72 points to an inch, 12 points to a pica, therefore 6 picas to an inch. Nobody ever thought about centimetres in the printing trade. I'd love to have an old yardstick. My husband has something he calls a "metre stick" — drives me crazy because it still sounds so wrong. — K

great shot when In was in Canada, I was great with km v miles, and a yard/meter are close enough, but not so much with the small stuff ROG, ABC Wednesday team
Because I lived in California for so long, I can think in both inches and centimeters. I'm getting used to centimeters, though. Do you own all these yard sticks?
I love how creative people are in these alphabet memes. And this post is a great example. We have always been inches, never went metric -- should have probably!
AH! So there is something I can do with my old rulers - save them for I in the next round. :) Actually, this was a very clever. I never even thought of "inches."

I still measure in inches!
I must admit I still think in inches too... and I've been surrounded by metric for decades!

Love the different shades in the photo. I still think in yards and inches.

Great visual and word for the letter I.
I preferred inches too lol.
Inspector Hector is my letter I. Hope you can drop by!
an inch is as good as a mile. Oh? I think I've mixed metaphors. Do love measuring sticks, though. :)
I love inches, - I can think of metric temperatures, but measurements are still in inches and feet and yards in my mind.
Clever take on the letter "I".
