I like arguing for arcane standards, and there are aspects of the imperial system I like.
Specifically, I tend to advocate for a base 12 system based arround the inch. Base 12 because the very structured multiplication table, which also makes for easy dividing. The inch because I find my lengtg estimation accuracy to be better captured by inches.
- Moru 7y agoYour length estimation accuracy is dependent on what you used more.
- rocqua 7y agoI have never used inches outside screen diagonals. Yet I still feel inches better match my accuracy. My actual accuracy in inches is horrible though, because I never get into contact with them.
- ghaff 7y agoI assume that 12 inches to a foot is the reason that, at least when I was growing up, we were taught multiplication tables up to 12x12 rather than 10x10.
