    If you’re doing science, go metric. For EVERYTHING else, Imperial is sooo much better. Imperial measurements are easier to relate. You’re 1.68m tall? Means nothing. You’re 5’ 6", you go short king. Temp is 40C? Hieroglyphics. It’s 105F out, too hot, I’m staying inside.

      Do you think that maybe people find the measurements they’re more used to easier to picture, rather than it being an intrinsic feature of the system?
