Metric vs English?

Metric haters have no valid reasons. They must be eliminated. Uniformity is our GOD. You must obey. Simplicity is good. Complexity is evil. Do not do as I do. Use only 1 or two sylable words. Why make like interesting? Mental effort is bad. You must conform.

People who grew up with the English system are more comfortable with it because they can visually understand the measurements. For example, when someone asks me how hot it gets in Vegas, is it as hot as 40 degrees Celsius, I have no idea what they are talking about. I cannot tell whether I am overweight if I weighed 50 kilos. And I don't know how fast is 100 km/hour.

People don't normally calculate the type of formulas you posted, but they do on a daily basis estimate such things as how long it would take to drive 20 miles.

And no, I do not dislike the metric system.

Just as a sidenote, i believe it is called the Imperial system and not the English system.

With that said, I personally prefer the metric system myself. I feel that the imperial system is quite backwards and impractical. But for people that have grown up with the imperial system and can use it with ease, then they probably prefer imperial themselves. You cannot necessarily justify the imperial system as a "more difficult system" because for some it may be easier. People can use and adapt themselves to whichever system they want to use.

ignorance is bliss. I hate the english system, it just doesn't make sense. But, I can judge peoples hight and weight much better in the english system. Then again I have a job were I use the metric system daily.

the two systems are merely as "precise" as the different. The accuracy relies upon on the measurements taken and instruments used for measuring. some accuracy could be jeopardized whilst changing contraptions from one gadget to a distinctive via rounding of the conversion factors. reward of the metric gadget are: Ease of fixing distant measurements like cm to m (as against inch to backyard) the relationship of centimeters equals one milliliters the uncomplicated 0 ranges is freezing, a hundred ranges is boiling on the Celsius scale

760,320 inches in 12 miles....I agree the Metric system is much better....but change is also hard for people.

metric is better because its system connects

our english system is a bunch of random rubbish that we use relative to nothing and have to convert with decimals

All masochists, the metric haters.

Americans, I think.

At least people know how to spell Gallon and feet and mile.

Shame you can't spell litre or kilometre

"10 times more efficient."

was that a nerd joke???

you get bonus points if you did that by accident

P.S. be careful soj, he could be one of those sly aussies.

i heard they drive on the right when they are stalking their prey
