Could be that too, of course. Why learn something new when the old is 
just as good (or at least good enough).

Another more-convenient: acres.  About 200 feet on a side, a small house 
will have one-eighth acre of land.  A nice 3 bedroom job in an old 
spacious neighborhood will have half an acre.  A big mansion will be on 
  2 to 5 acres. A family farm would cover 100 to 200 acres, and a family 
ranch like 600 to 800 acres.  Just right for a nice range of measurements.

We still do floorplan sizes for houses in square feet, tho, so you wind 
up with 900 sq ft being a tiny house, 2000 being a 
comfortable-for-Americans size, 8000 being a big mansionish house. I 
think square meters would do better there, taking out one of the 
"useless" zeros in there.
