Default your thoughts on metric

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


IMHO it all sounds the same. Was that 250 Millimeters, Centimeters, etc.?

What is wrong with fractions?
What do you get when you subtract 374 mm from 47 cm? What is half of 383
mm?

IMHO metric is simply a different distance but no easier.
