It's ease of use, uniformity.

at least they make sense when converting to other metric units
2,840 km is 2,840,000 Metres.
2,840,000 metres is 284,000,000 centimetres
284,000,000 centimetres is 2,840,000,000 millimetres
however in imperial nonsense it is
530 miles is 932,800 yards
932,000 yards is 2,798,400 feet
2,798,400 feet is 33,580,800 inches

sorta is though. we have a hybrid of imperial/metric and it's all rather silly

Its super simple math. If someone struggles with simple fractions it's their own problem

simpler than knocking off/adding zeros? no and when you have two systems you're expected to know, and switch between them on the fly? naah

a five year old can work out metric. You just add some zeros.Jay wrote:

you actually have to learn fractions before you can do a lot of imperial. and then how to multiply by 3 and 12 and whatever else there is (I dont use imperial so I wouldn't know what else there is)
Stop making out like it's just as simple as metric, just because you've grown up and learnt about it.

I used both systems in engineering school. The only advantage to metric is when you get into very small, or very large numbers. For everyday crap it's just a matter of taste.FatherTed wrote:

Everything here comes in metric and imperial. Schools teach both. People just refuse to drop imperial.
and fahrenheit is just retarded

i'd say fahrenheit is actually better for weather reporting. Think about it.. generally the coldest temp most will experience is 0F and the hottest is 100F. The scale is just better IMO. But for science, kelvin rocks.FatherTed wrote:

Fahrenheit is much more precise for weather.FatherTed wrote:

celsius makes sense though what with the whole water freezing and boiling points.

idc what boiling point is in normal life
but id rather have metric

Rankine is more precise than Kelvin, though having freezing at 32 is an annoyanceHurricane2k9 wrote:

well yes but it's nowhere near as clear. people understand stuff like water freezing and boiling, and for those numbers to be at 0 and 100 makes everything else easy to relate to. and going from that to kelvin is much simpler.

you can use the google to convert things in imperial
better off not having themHurricane2k9 wrote:
