- nitrogen 12y ago"Dividing a metre in to ten like this is much more helpful when measuring long distances than seeing hundreds and hundreds of centimetres but this unit doesn’t really exist with its own name." Actually, it does, it's called the decimeter. The other complaints in that post sound like faults in the design of measuring tapes, rather than faults in the meter itself. IMO, the best argument in favor of the imperial system is that you get more prime factors, so e.g. feet can be easily divided into 2, 3, 4, or 6 equal parts without using fractions. This is less important when one has access to decimal calculators.
