Metric is overrated. It's both too recent an invention and a part of the long gone movement that thought everything is to be rebuilt, you know, "rationally." It didn't turn out more rational as a result, at least not the kind of rationality that we really need. [Edit] Disclaimer: I am from a country that went metric a century ago.
