I was referring to things like (1 mile = 5280 ft = 1760 yards) vs. ( 1 kilometer = 1000 meters)

I didn’t mean base 10 vs. octal or binary or hexadecimal. I should have clarified that. My bad.

I just think it would we wise for everyone to use one system, even if it’s the English system.

you have to excuse, me...I am set in my ways...and I see the enemies at the gate in all things lately...thanks to the current regime...

and yeah I know what a base 10 system is

time, for example, is on a base 12 system.

and the reason we have a base ten is that's how many fingers we have etc....

...yes there are 5280 ft in a Mile...

1 mile is also = 1000, 1000ths of a mile.

my micrometers and digital calipers, when I use them on the English setting, reduce inches into tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on....

you can break down all units like this...and that is what the US space program and most US engineering, used, in general up until recently.
