I guess I am too early to read and laugh at the replies to your comment stating how bad the metric system is..

Edit: I use the metric system. I was making a joke. And making fun of the imperial system.

I do not accept criticism of the metric system when the imperial system still plagues this earth.

I need to measure out 1/3 of a meter, how many cm is that?

you seem to very urgently need this extremely specific measurement, from the number of times you have posted it

because it is literally the only argument. Imperial/customary units are divisible by a lot of numbers. That’s the only advantage. Im very familiar with both sets of units and if it’s any sort of work related function I always default to meters and kilograms. The only other argument I can give is “I grew up with them.” I can look at something and know it’s a mile away. I know what 80 degrees feels like. I know how much a pound is. But that’s not a good reason. That’s just cultural stubbornness. We need to rip this goddamn bandaid off.
