Not getting into inches and ounces for a moment, how hard would it be to only switch to the centigrade system? (I used "centigrade" as not to use anyone's name )
It seems that temperature is more independent from all of the other measures, while lengths, volumes and weights a more intertwined with each other. This should make it slightly easier to implement.
I know it'd be odd at first, as old recipes would ask for oven temperatures of 400 deg. (F), while a "metric" oven would only go to 250 deg. (C). Also, 32 deg.F is literally freezing, while 32 deg.C is starting to be on the hot side. Plus centigrade has a lower "resolution", i.e. 1 deg.C is about 2 deg.F.
