That's why you call a kilometer a "click." "Ten Clicks South of your position" sounds more badass than "Ten Miles South of your position." Military got me using metric in distanes, and college sciences sealed the deal. It's a pain converting back and forth. I think we are converting (read labels on canned goods and water bottles), but just slowly. Just until everyone kind of 'gets it,' or everyone that grew up without the system is school is dead .
