  1. @DaveOz I only saw your comment after I went on a geeky ramble about our Base 10 counting system and how well the Metric system works in that space as opposed to imperial. If I'd read your eloquent statement, I wouldn't have bothered :)

  2. I get a perverse joy watching people argue over this subject. I was born in the early 60s, so I grew up when Australia changed from Pounds to dollars and from inches to centimetres, and Fahrenheit to celsius. The currency change was a little early for me to remember though, but in respect to metric and imperial, I can swap between the two and generally convert most measurements in my head. As a result of this, I can say, based on life experience, that the metric system (for me) is a far more logical and less confusing system than old imperial measurements, whether they be British or US Imperial.

  3. The beauty of the metric system is that it works well with our Western Base 10 system of numbering. The main reason why imperial measurements can be confusing or complicated is that it doesn't work well with a Base 10 math system.
