Metric System is ongoing proof of the STUPIDITY OF PROFESSORS of Academia.
Metric is a stupid system for everyday use. Europe should keep it as a never ending reminder of the stupidity of University Professors.
Base 10 measure for everyday use is ignorant and stupid.
The arrogance of its proponents is evident in that they call it the “Système Internationale d’Unités” (international system of units), using communistic terms.
Base 10 is much easier to use, but it requires converting a lot of old, established measurements into that formula. The English weren’t the only ones that had a base 12 formula; it’s actually founded on the proportions of the human body, starting with the foot....yes that same foot that’s under the ankle. However, having an easily divisible standard is better.
And this is confusing. I go to Europe a lot so I’ve worked it out and can do it fairly quickly mentally - at least a good approximation. So maybe it should be the official measurement internationally, but they certainly shouldn’t criminalize deviation from it (which I think the EU does one).
