Having been brought up with imperial measure and avoirdupois, by the age of 8 I was a proficient-arithmetically - in base 12, base 36, base 8, base 1760, base 15 ,base 14, base 21, base 112, base 20, base 21, and of course base 10. I could do them all mentally. I did not know at the time what an arithmetic genius I was! It also made me both fluent and familiar with vulgar fractions. What child of 8, brought up in a decimal environment can do any of that!!!!!!!

The other advantage of imperial is it's very visual as smaller, everyday levels. Measurements like the inch, the foot, the ounce, the pint, the gallon etc etc. are much easier to comprehend and visualise than decimal parts of the metre and kilo. Hence an earlier comment by one of your males! "Six Inches" is the male benchmark world wide!!!!

Imagine my surprise when I told an American I used to do bench press with a hundred lbs but pronouncing it "libs" and he looked at me like a crazy person. Imagine my surprise that somehow lbs translates to pounds. How does that happen how do libs become pounds?

i hâte metric system. the only reason i use it is when other other people do. otherwise i can more easily visualize feet and inches and undrstand fahrenheit better - and i’m not american BTW

When they learn to lie. I learned not to lie before I knew those silly metric things existed.

It would have been better in base 12.

sorry, I'd rather measure my dick in inches not cm

The metric system is what I know and oftenuse but the Americans on here don’t always get it so you have to adapt. Lolz

I also prefer those measurements and it's probably because I grew up with them so they are familiar.

I not understand the measurements here in US.

Maybe after drinking one pint too many. Then they sober up.

Yeah it is

Why is it best?

Americans....naaahhhh!

Say it louder📣

I agree!

agreed

Agreed.
