Imperial is better because the measurements are more useful in day to day life. It's why you still see people living under the metric system use imperial measurements for certain things.

USA FOREVER

Ironically, the US military heavily uses metric, when both aren't used at the same time. Engineers also focus on metric for measurements in calculations.

Right, but I'm talking more about the day to day life of the average person who doesn't have a technically demanding job. For science and engineering metric is great, but for the average person more things can be simplified measuring them in inches and feet and such.

Does TIM prefer Metric or Imperial? That's how we can settle this debate. :P

TIM prefers imperial, obviously.

Scientists and engineers prefer metric over imperial simply due to their numeral systems: Decimal rather than the duodecimal. The SI system itself is as arbitrary as the Imperial system. The inaccurately measured dimension of the Earth is no more significant that the length of an English person's foot or arm.

String theorists, cosmologists and some particle physicists use the Planck units:

Quantum physicists, solid state physicists and some particle physicists use Atomic units:
http://en.wikipedia....ki/Atomic_units

Plasma physicists and engineers used to prefer Gaussian units:
http://en.wikipedia..../Gaussian_units

I personally prefer Planck units. I think Legion and the Geth will agree with me on this. Not so sure about TIM.

As for day-to-day use, I can say that both SI (metric) and Imperial are equally practical, as I have become accustomed to both over the years.

However, I reserve a major hatred of the Fahrenheit system, and strongly supports Celcius. The triple point of water is a most important cosmological constant for the emergence of life itself. The approximate weather in Denmark isn't.

How often does the average people need something measured in feet and inches and such?

Really, the most prevalent use of non-metric measurements for the common people is in cooking. And that's just convention one grows with, not utility.

That's over one decade more than me. But then again, I despise most of humanity by now.

The Americans are a happy people. That alone makes them likable and enviable.

You were meant to think that as well. And yes, people are having sex in my most recently created thread; the DA2 one.
