People who shit on the English system are just looking for ways to shit on America in general. You don't convert that fucking often to justify the powers of 10 shit. Also, 12 inches is divisible by 3 and 4 evenly where 10 you have to use fractions, and that comes in handy a lot. Farenheit is also way fucking easier to understand than celsius, 10 degrees is a noticeable shift in temp and 1 or 2 degrees is a small one. Perfect for easy understanding. We don't need your shit system

What an interesting post, OP. Mind if I ask you a few questions? What is the distance to the moon in kilometers? What is the temperature on the surface in Celsius? What day did you land there in day/month/year format? Oh, what? You don't know because you've never been there? Then shut the fuck up.

You were fine up to that point, fahrenheit is easier to """"understand"""" because you've been using it your entire life. Celsius is just as understandable, with the added bonus that 0 is extremely relevant in this climate.

Easy conversion is mostly useful when you're cooking. Tablespoons, ounces, quarts, it gets complicated fast.

complicated for a mape, maybe

Simply epic post my dude, what was the moon like, bro?
>>
>>75936878
as long as you live in a civilized part of the world and not in the middle of the desert or Antartica, 0 is as cold as it gets, 100 is as hot as it gets

meanwhile, your system is based on water freezing or boiling

wow that's so useful in everyday situations
>>
>>75935190
It's really pretty fucking simple. Sorry you're too retarded to know how to do anything other than multiples of 10s.

Also that use of the word cuckold is pretty autistic. KYS.

It's amazing how angry and defensive Americans become when discussing systems of measurement. I honestly don't mind you use the imperial system, all I'm saying is that I grew up with metric, it is simple, easy and works for both my everyday and workplace needs.
Oh well. Everyone has their triggers I guess, and you're all falling for the aussie bait time and time again.

It smelled like freedom, I brought my wife and kids up and we had a pretty sweet 4th of July barbecue until my motor scooter got caught in a crater
Fucking commies probably put it there

So uh
When you say the date in Europe, do you always just say "The second of May, 2016?", rather than "May second, 2016"
If not, why is it better to be able to make a little triangle than actually write it the same way you say it?

Also
>Temperature scale should be based off of water's freezing point
UHHHH

Other than that imperial is pretty retarded
>>
Month/day/years makes sense because months only go up to 12, days go up to 31, and years go on and on. 6/22/2015 vs. 22/6/2015

First one is much more aesthetically pleasing.

>unironically using anything but Kelvin
>>
>>75940018
A degree Celsius and a degree Kelvin are the same. They just start at different points.

Metric is just easier than imperial. In general. Though, bring Canadian everything is fucked up for us. Height in feet and inches, weight in pounds, distance is measured in time, speed in km/hr though older people add some obstinate younger Hicks use "mile'n aeu'er"

But we like to pretend we metric.
