Dusk Wrote:I prefer the imperial system. Dividing by 1 by THREE creates infinite decimals. 10 is a pomegranatety base. We should have used base 12. Or 60, but I dunno how we would manage that.

Besides, the Imperial system works just fine for length, volume, mass, and speed. Degrees Farenheit is a stupid unit, though.

Actually, besides the need to manage decimals, the metric system is easier for common use. Something that has a 0 degree temperature sounds better than 24 degrees Fahrenheit and that's considered the neutral point of temperature. (considering water's fusion point). Something without weight is 0 grams, while its 70.54 lbs in the imperial system... NOT accurate at all.

And the list goes on. Rolleyes
