You’re humor-impaired, Obviously
Yes, and a meter is a little more than a yard. Inches, feet, and yards are far more useful for everyday needs. That’s how they came to be. The metric system is far more useful for precision, due to it’s Base 10 organization.
Actually, disagree.
You can be exactly as precise in standard as in metric. What is easier in metric is not precision, it’s conversion.
The old English money was 12 pence to the shilling, 20 shillings to the pound, and for some utterly obscure reason the guinea had 21 shillings. And then of course they had farthings and half penneys.
That’s the main reason we went to the metric system for our money.
The Founders, however, did not have the French Revolution compulsion to remake everything. They even decimalized the clock and the calendar, which didn’t take.
However, if the metric system had been available, I suspect the Founders would have adopted it.
