For day to day life, weight and mass might as well be the same. I love science and astronomy but I'm not buying a pound of lunch meat at the deli counter to take into space.

Well, when I buy a pound of lunch meat in the EU, they give me 500 g of lunch meat, because this is what for us is a pound. The SI system are round clear and related numbers which make it easy to calculate, the Imperial system isn't, nothing to do with going in space or building a quantum computer, but simply calculating the amount of plants with a distance of 2 inches in a garden with 20 feets.
