Not so. Metrics is what everyone should be using. May stance may not be popular here, but it is correct. Some old things just need to be retired. Metrics has been around a LONG time and makes much more sense. (Discuss, please...)

There are two types of countries:

Those that use the metric system,

And those that have landed on the Moon.

Metric is not based on anything real. Like most stuff from france. The gram is too small, the meter is too big and the liter is not enough or too much depending.

People who are accountants like it because it uses decimals. But people do not use decimals they use fractions. And they measure with real world items.

No one asks for .25 liters of coffee with 12 grams of sugar and grams of cream.

They do ask for a cup of coffee with a spoon of sugar and a splash of cream because that is real.
