Use your metric system when measuring your nanometers on modern chips.
I'll use metric for buying fish at the fishmonger when hectograms instead of grams or decimals of a kilogram because they cannot remember anything smaller than a factor of 1,000 for everyday weights. I'll take a pre-enlightenment system based on how people really live, than based on "the distance that light travels in a vacuum in exactly 1/299,792,458 of a second at mean sea level."
If they had to come up with an utterly arbitrary system (outside of celsius), why couldn't they make it base 12, so we can have quarters and thirds divide nicely?
