While Americans, Europeans, and Asians have no use for it, asking a British person their weight in kilograms feels about as natural as asking an American the temperature in Celsius. The stone persists because body weight is deeply personal, and people resist changing how they conceptualize their own physical selves.

Non-Frequently Asked Questions About Centigrams to Stones
Questions nobody should ask - but someone did.
-
A 12-stone person (168 lbs, 76.2 kg) would see roughly 7,620,000 centigrams. British bathroom scales would need seven-digit displays, batteries would drain faster, and morning weigh-ins would require reading glasses. The stone exists partly to keep numbers manageable - '12 stone' is much friendlier than '7.6 million centigrams.'
-
The stone outlasted the rod, the chain, the furlong, the gill, and dozens of other imperial units that quietly disappeared. Despite official metrication in 2000, British people cling to stones for body weight the way Americans cling to Fahrenheit. Some measurement habits are simply stronger than government policy.

A centigram stone (10 mg) would be about the size of a grain of sand. It could not skip - it would float on surface tension, be carried by the lightest breeze, and be completely invisible from more than a few centimeters away. Stone-skipping requires actual stones, not metric ones.
