The metric system is great on paper. But if you're building stuff, like houses....or rigging sailboats.....the metric system is pidgin measurement.

The physical world is about 360 degrees, which breaks down nicely to feet and inches. Carpenter's square's work on this principle. It is hell to build a house or rig a boat using the metric system. It's just not done!

The computerized world is all about base 10. It's also about very, very small things....for which the metric system is very apropos.

Both systems are useful, but for different reasons.

I used to work for a Swedish company, doing construction for telephone switches. Everything was in metric, once got used to it I thought was simpler than standard system. But it's just a pain in the ass to keep bouncing back and forth. I like just moving decimal point over instead of fractions lol:Namaste::green_heart::passitleft:
 
Wow! I was just making a little joke about kilos vs. grams. Didn't mean to spark a debate on the value of the metric system! :laugh:

Exactly!! I was a fan of standard until I start doing work for Siemens and had to deal with the Germans and the metric system. In a year I was fully assimilated and now I hate fractions. Now I hate dealing with standard size tools.
