Actually, as an engineer I dealt with this problem all the time. I'd get drawings with dimensions, and would forget to look at the notes to see what units were being used. Domestic drawings would be English units, but foreign ones would be Metric. Sometimes I'd look at the dimensions and say to myself, "man that thing is huge !"
