    I won’t stop using it just because people with inferior education sometimes don’t get it.

    I doubt anyone doesn’t get it, it just sounds twice as unnatural to a native English speaker.

      Whatever, I’m not convincing anyone with my use of metric and username. I’m avoiding some other weird phrases though, for example you won’t usually see me type “14 days” in English although Czech speakers prefer it to “2 weeks” (idk why, it’s the same number of syllables).
