Yes but there is one slight problem with all of that "I want to learn the SI units but can't translate them to Imperial ones on the fly living in a nation that mostly use Imperial units": you're not getting understood. "Man this car's engine develops 335 kW and 650 Nm of torque!"

Then they just look at you like if you had two heads and you came from outer space wearing a giant canary suit with help swimmers on your arms.
