Default your thoughts on metric

Why change something that so many people understand and have the tools for
in their boxes. I learned fractions (imperial) first, then in high school
was taught metric as the wave of the future, that was 1970 to 1974 no waves
yet, give it up and stick to what everyone knows. Before I get flamed by
the metric mafia I will state I can do both and make most conversions in my
head but prefer Imperial.

I am getting a bit fed-up with the 15/32...13/64... and the rest of the
crap measurements we use here. Why shouldn't I go to what the rest of the
world uses? Metric. Please no political BS. Seems like using 10's is a lot
easier.No I'm not too old to change (62).G
