Small minds apparently cannot deal with the metric system so let’s use an old system which we got used to but didn’t make much sense.

The small minds are the ones that prefer a system based on a false fantastical surmise, which shows no humanity or connection to its origin.

Metric measure: divisible by 1,2,5,10.

Imperial measure: divisible by 1,2,3,4,6,12,16,32...

Which one requires more comprehension and intellect to use correctly again?

Small minds indeed.

agreed... base 10 is our most common 'counting' system... yet there are those that seem to think base 12 is more 'useful'... NOT for science... i can just MOVE the dam decimal versus dividing by a dam dozen!
