I have to use more brain power to use standard than when using metric. I have one measurment at 5/8 of an inch and I need to add 2inch and 3/4 to that and then make a cut. Doing conversions from one standard system to metric to household to apocathery etc... all is challenging and fun. You live in your robot world of 10, I will take the rich history, the fun, the challenge, and the big fcuk you to the rest of the world.

The measurement of a mile is interesting. I read this in a book called Be Expert With Map and Compass. i can look at a topo and go off trail to where I want
A mile (mille or thousand) is 1000 Roman soldier average double steps. If you are a navigator, then you need to know your own personal double step measurement. The metric system is superior.

The fact that most of big american corporations relies heavily on import & export makes it even more puzzling that there already isnt busloads of corporate lobbyists with big bags of money trying to convince those with power to hurry up the change to metric system.
