Wow, I don't understand why more people don't use it. It is SO much more simple than the imperial system, and its not like the imperial system is all that confusing to begin with.
It really shines when converting between units...how many inches is 23'-4 1/4" again? 
I think if people just tried it for a week, the old system would be gone quickly. |
Go buy a metric ruler and tape measure. You will just waste more brain power trying to convert the measurements. I buy allot of manufacturing equipment from Europe. I spent more time trying to convert mm to inches. I began to think metric and stopped worrying about what 500 mm was in inches. 500 mm is 500 mm.
Now, finding metric size material will be a problem.
