It's too bad, but at this point, it's like saying someone is 15 Schibels heigh, at this point.

Metric refers to nothing in the US except a large bottle of soda. Other than that, there's no reference point.

Sometimes, you need emergency communication and the leap to communicating measurements under those conditions can't be trifled with.

I like using imperial. It’s not better or worse than metric, just different, and even after living in Europe for quite a bit of time now I still think in imperial units And haven’t even gotten used to centigrade fully, although I roughly understand it

for cooking I still like using imperial volume measurements (cups, etc) instead of metric grams or ml. I also like fractions of an inch for woodworking.

Metric is better. America uses a convoluted combination of metric and imperial. It's really annoying converting imperial to metric. Try getting the height right redoing a subfloor in an old building.

As a tradie, I use imperial alot. But metric is king due to power of 10.

Imperial is dying in the industrial world. But most tool sets cover both anyways (metric wrenches work on imperial and vice versa)


I used to love trolling my coworkers by replacing imperial fasteners with metric lmao. Most machines come metric now, sometimes gotta stop a dinosaur tradie from going full retard and trying to force imperial bolts into metric threads, das not it mane.

Imperial literally means 'Of the (British) Empire'

Metric is a better system but the US desperately clinging onto the ways of their British masters is amusing.

metric is better for complex calculations
imperial is better for real life

inches feet and miles are simply better for eying things

Absolutely not, feet and miles are retarded as fck. It's only because you grew up with this retardation you think it is.

Study the systems and you'll understand how dogsh*t imperial is, especially in day to day life.

Heightists will be on suicide watch when they realize these mental height barriers look and are trivial when converted to meters.

Lol, it will be 180cm master race instead of 6' then

But it's actually true, europeans aren't obsessed about height like mericans. Probably has something to do with the measurement system...

only nerds that work book problems care about the metric system.

once you realize most things come standardized in imperial units in america, then what are you going to do, replace and rebuild everything just so its metric now or maybe you will continue using gallons and feet if your place of work has items already built in even numbered gallons, feet, pounds.
