WRONG!
In this country we use both systems which is worse because you have to have twice as many wrenches. As we further outsource and import machine tools from Germany and Japan, we will be closer to the metric system. Right now some of these machine tools can machine in both systems. I prefer the metric system due to times 10 or divided by 10. I can visualize both systems in size so I have no problem with either but metric would simplify it. I say choose 1 system and it is guys like you that resist change. Adapt or die.
All the meter is, is a subunit of the distance from the north pole to the equator along the curvature of the earth. It is exactly 10,000 kilometers so it is 10,000,000 meters. Everything is in base 10 to make it easier. We will get there eventually. Too bad Eddie cannot fathom that.
