As one of my employees always says, there are two kinds of countries in the world. Those that use the metric system and those that have put a man on the moon.

Except for the fact that the computers on the Apollo spacecraft used the metric system internally, then converted it for display so the astronauts could read it. Considering how precious every bit of processing power was on those computers, it makes that statement even more ridiculous. And yeah, I hear that silly statement made often here in the US. Those that use that ignorant meme tend to also use the phrase "measure twice, cut onc...shit" because it's a pain in the ass to subdivide.

They are, regardless of what phrase they use, more likely to do "measure once, cut twice"
