I definitely prefer metric, especially for thing like temperature, I don't know how anyone could not understand it. Freezing point of water = 0c, boiling point = 100c... easyyy. How many meters in a kilo-meter? 1000, in a decimetre? 10. How many millimetres in a meter? 1000... all in units of 10, doesn't get any simpler.

Every length should have its own name. Then we wouldn't need numbers at all.

Umm... the Statue of Liberty has Roman numbers on it... are you against liberty

A jug of milk is exactly 4 liters. That's easy. its 1.06 gallons. That's arbitrary! The imperial system is silly.

Metric sucks balls for non-scientific purposes. Fahrenheit has much better delineations for measuring the range of temperatures suitable for human life than metric does. Below zero F? Too freaking cold. 32F? Water freezes. 70F? Comfortable. 100F? Too stinking hot. It's a perfect scale for human comfort.

It's also much easier to estimate a foot than it is to estimate a meter. Pounds beat kilograms, and MPH beats KPH, hands down.

FTFY.

It means Fixed That For You.

And I agree with the Moose, you think this shit is handy cos' you're used to it. I find metric a lot more comfortable PLUS it suits for scientific purposes. Generally for anything you need to actually apply thinking and calculation to, not necessarily science.

He was kinda kiddin'

I always do: he is never serious. In order to be serious he's logging in to HER account.

America doesn't use Imperial measurements, they use their own version of Imperial.

Girls are impressed by 8 inches, not 20cm. End of story.

A gallon is 10 pounds of water at 62farenheit, how much more scientific than that can you get

But it's so much easier to buy varying quantities of milk, you can get millibags, decibags, kilobags, etc.

LMAO... You have to try them to understand how great bagged milk is! I was surprised that Ontario is the only province that uses bagged milk. We're just so used to it around here, it's how most people get their milk.

Bagged milk in the pitcher... you just throw them in and cut the tip off one of the corners.

And in the store... and it's 4 litres divided into 3 bags they come in, I think I said 3.

Just a note: Those milk bags are a LOT tougher than ziploc storage bags. I remember as a child when in an outdoor education class they taught us that using those milk bags to store items in when canoeing/camping was a good thing because if the canoe ever tipped over, they would float, plus being very rugged plastic they probably wouldn't puncture too easily.

And then you have to find a cup to pour it in.

I just grab the milk jug by the handle and drink straight from it. That's the scientific way.
