The metric system is the only legal system in the US, being part of the meter treaty caused that. Using MPH or anything else is just compulsory. Other units are used because they are more familiar. In engineering courses you typically use metric because conversion is easier.

The metric system is better for scientists, but that's it. Regular citizens don't worry about needing to convert from feet to miles, because nobody fucking converts from feet to miles. Seriously, when was the last time you needed to know how fast your faggy cars go in cm/h? How about from meters to cm? That might actually be relevant, but imperial units are MUCH better at small, common conversions because inches are base 12. One third of a foot is 4 in., one third of a meter is 33.3333cm. One sixth of a foot is 2 in., one sixth of a meter is 16.6666cm.. Imperial units also have the advantage of being more easily visualized, because they're based on the human body rather than pure numbers (which are, ironically, more arbitrary than imperial units).

Who gives a fuck? Here in Canada we switch back and forth between metric and imperial depending on the application, eve though some get really pissy over it. For example, no one in their right mind takes a look at the ASTM standard pipe chart, then calls up a supplier and ask for 508mm throttle valve, it's just done in inches. Alternately, the use of BTU's and calories is pretty much non-existent in Canadian engineering, outside of BBQ and food labels, it is rarely seen, things are calculated in Joules and watts. One day an old liberal gov woke up and decided we should go metric, and we ended up with a half assed mix of everything as a result, apparently some people get extremely agitated at this, I could care less about remembering a few conversion factors.

Yeah.
We should start using a number system that alternates between base 17 and 29 depending on whether the last next digit in pi is odd or even.

Such a complex system would be awesome, because it would show how smart we are.

Heptagon and octagon angle totals are incorrect there, though the pattern does hold.

Also, continuing to bisect the angle in the top section results in digits which sum to 18 rather than 9.

A full circle being 360 degrees is entirely arbitrary, as is the decimal system. It's all just quirks of whatever system you choose, and angles represented as radials don't really have any such "gotcha" numbers.

Physicist here.

While there are distinct advantage to using metric over imperial units... one is ultimately just as fucking arbitrary as the other.

Natural units based on measures of physical units are the only non-arbitrary option (ex. 1 KPH becomes about 1 nc (billionth of the speed of light).

All of this is of course fucking irrelevant because we've all got calculators and shit now so it doesn't matter what stupid fucking units you use as long as you make sure people correctly convert between them.

The reason old wholesome units have to be thrown out is because everyone came up with slightly different ones.

In some places every /city/ had its own system of measurement, held up by the city hall for traditional trade regulation.

Besides, for the purposes of negotiating everyone to switch to the same system a system that is no one's culture or tradition is ideal. You see how much people get hung up on how "French" the metric system is, although in reality it's international. For example, Americans and British had a lot of work done on it.
