Imperial is pretty good for common chit-chat, as it's clunky and easy to remember, but metric is precise, consistant, and useful. Science, technology and other precise crafts use the metric system, and it must be a bit shit to be in US and to be not be taught a system that's being used in their industry.

Yeah learning a better system is defiantly way too hard for the average american, they'll just moan and complain and have first world problems. Just like when their internet goes out for a few hours or a day they just flip there shit as if they can't live without it.

Hey I have 4g so I'm good! Haha. But yeah, if they changed the system. We'd have to relearn EVERYTHING. I'd rather not do that, especially since math isn't my strong subject. You could call it laziness, but whatever.

I'll tell you what though, when I run out of money for food it's shitty, but when the internet goes for a few hours I cry, and shit nooses.

There is nothing to relearn. It's like dollars... 1 dollar is 100 cents....

1 meter is 100 centimetre... etc!

I wouldn't call it laziness, this is very past laziness. When I moved here I had to switch over to the metric system and it took a few weeks but I started to get a hang of it. It's about 123123120 times better than having a mile being 324234234 inches and then 546 yards is like 231231 feet. It's pretty bad compared to how nicely the metric systems flows by using 100's 10's 1000's, it's much easier to remember and practically the whole world will understand what I'm talking about when I talk measurements.

1 km = 10 hm = 10^3 m
1 hm = 10 dam = 10^2 m
1 dam = 10 m
1 m = 10 dm
1 dm = 10 cm = 10^-1 m
1 cm = 10 mm = 10^-2 m
1 mm = 10^-3 m

It's easy isn't it?

a pound is rougly 0.6 of a kg
1000kg = 1 tonne

LIQUIDS
1000 millilitres (mL) = 1 litre (L)
1000L = kilolitre
1000kl = megalitre
