The metric system is indeed superior

I ran a statistical analysis over the weekend and used some tools. I find the metric system to be a more precise and adequate system.
I still fricking hate it though. Because America!

It is so much easier, but switching systems at this point would be incredibly difficult from both a logistics and cultural standpoint.

The metric system may seem superior but it is man made. I'd rather stick with the natural way even if it's a little tougher.

I’m not sure you know what “precision” means in a scientific setting there, Sir Isaac Newton.

It is vastly more superior.
Scruffy also likes the 24 hr clock (i.e. 1800 instead of 6 PM) too.

I love it when you talk nerdy to me. Also, I agree with Scruffy... Unilaterally switching to 24h clock and metric system would be amazing.
ETA: I was today's years old when I found out I'd been misusing the word 'unilaterally'... thanks Slackster

It is known... but it sure would be a pain in the arse to switch.

I use both.
I like the imperial system when dealing with distances.
I like the metric system in thermo and chemistry.
But I can do both with no problem. I have no issue using either.

There’s the metric system...and then there’s the motherfrickers that went to the moon.

There are two types of countries in this world. Those that use the metric system and those that put a man on the moon

Fractions of 12, 16, 32, 64, and 128 are easier to work out in your head in the imperial system.
Fractions of 10 are actually a little harder. For example a quarter of 10 is 2.5. A quarter of 12 is 3. A third of 10 is 3.3333333333.... A third of 12 is 4.

"metric system is based on 10s"
Who fricking cares we have calculators.
frick your puasy weirdo euro measurements. 3 feet = 1 yard motherfricker!
