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)

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.

Because we Americans are uneducated idiots and can't work with big numbers.

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.
