In a way, I disagree that the "entire" topic is ridiculous. I do disagree that the Imperial is superior to metric but the discussion that has followed the initial post has been quite interesting, especially due to another discussion here that I won't name to avoid unnecessarily insulting anyone.majpooper wrote: ⤴Sun Oct 24, 2021 3:22 pm To be truthful I just find the entire topic ridiculous. I have been using imperial and metric measurements pretty much my entire life and have no problems with either . . . . but then I mastered basic arithmetic at an early age. Now binary vs hexadecimal . . . . . just kidding.
While I've used, and I'm comfortable with both, the Imperial and metric systems for much of my life (not my entire life due to being old as dirt), I much prefer the simplicity of the metric system even though I cut my eyeteeth on the Imperial system and used it exclusively for the first third of my life.
