ikr i live in usa and i prefer metric, but when people who don't get metric say "what?", i have to use their terrible imperial system.
metric 1 meter is 100 cm makes sense right?
imperial 1 foot is 12 inches ??? |

@Super
Yeah. With Metric, once you understand the prefixes, you understand the whole system.
Mili = 1/1000 Centi = 1/100 Decti = 1/10 Kilo = 1000

What is even up with Fahrenheit
Yknow there's only 3 countries left in the world which use Imperial and the other two are third world nations in Africa and the Middle East. |

Actually, there are no Middle Eastern nations that use Imperial. The only Imperial-using nations left are the United States, of course, Burma (Southeast Asia), and Liberia (Africa)

Actually, I grew up with Imperial. However, I still think that metric is the superior system.

When talking about room temperatures I use farenheit. When talking about the temperature of machines I use celcius. (50 degrees = halfway to boiling water, etc. more understandable) |

@JailBreak
Vietnam. The revolutionary war was heading for a decisive British victory against the Union until the French stepped in. You've totally lost the "war on drugs". D-Day was a total flop for America And you haven't got a history of grand imperialism or warfare like the rest of the world and if you did you'd have probably been kicked to the floor by the Dutch, English or Spanish. |

Also, may I point out that America's continued use of Imperial caused the country to waste 3 years and 193 million dollars?

| That was caused by a bad conversion of units, it had nothing to do with imperial system itself. If you're going to make an argument, try not to be disingenuos. |
