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

I really don't have a problem with those who don't want to go metric. But I think it's silly for them to claim it's because standard is "easier." It's only easier because they're used to using standard. If they used metric all the time, it would quickly become easier.
