My point exactly. You constantly have to deal with those stupid fractions and decimals in metric system all the time.
Also - weight and volume relations have mostly scientific relevance. Not joe schmoe putting up out some drywall, or proportion door and window sizes.
It's not that you can't use metric system. It's just worse for a lot of day2day.
- toss1 4y agoNO, in metric, I've never dealt with fractions. It is ALL DECIMAL, which is the point. It is in the "English" system that you have to deal with the fractions: the board is 8 feet 1 and 23/32 inches long. Now how long will it be when you cut off 5 3/8 inches from that? If you can't more quickly subtract 137mm from 2482mm, you are either extremely unusual or insincere.
