Not everyone has to do everything the same way. Hell, after you take my inches away, are you going to make me start speaking the same language because mine current one is unpractical?


no one is taking your inches away, nor your language. many people, where i am from, use both sets of units interchangeably. it’s a total non-issue.


except people are advocating precisely for doing that. "unification" "assimilation"

resistance is futile.


Not everything is useful or objectively good just because someone 100years ago said so.

What you want is tradition not reasoning.

From a pure Logic point of view metric is better.

And it's used in the USA.

Even inches and feet are based on the metric meter.


No, of course not.
