Soccer: agree.
Metric system: disagree.
As a scientist, why stick with a dysfunctional way of measuring things when an objectively better system is available?
Perhaps stupidest of all is our present (non)system of using “normal” for measuring some things and metric for measuring others.
metric is decimalized
standard is halving/doubling
they suit different purposes, imo, convenience for science calculations or convenience for daily use
I should have added Esperanto to the list.
For things that require precision (science & engineering), the metric system makes infinitely more sense. For less precise, everyday use, an inch, a foot, a yard, etc... are much easier. That’s why there’s still resistance to the Metric system for things that don’t require much in the way of calculation or precision.
The metric system is easy to understand. I would have to look and see how many feet are in a mile. A kilometer is exactly 1000 meters

I used to be anti metric system. Then I got my electronics engineering degree!
