The imperial system is logical and actually much easier to use than metric. It needs a few brain cells but when mastered. Hey it's easy. I have used the metric system for years and found it contrived and awkward. Recently I have started using imperial units and there is a lot of history and logic behind it. OK NASA goes metirc. The French have won, Now repeat after me (hands in the air. I surrender, I surender, I surrender. Feeling French yet (dont worry it will come)).
What's more accurate 1/32 of an inch or 1mm? What divides into 3, 4 and 6 better 12 or 10? What can you use the human body to make most measurements by metric or imperial?
Never mind.
