Smiley aside, **** you.

That said, the metric system is not always easier. When measuring
distance, for instance, it's a lot easier to use inches than mm. reason
being fractions of an inch are expressed just that way, as fractions,
while fractions of a mm are expressed decimally.

When it gets down to machinists' tolerances, it really makes no difference.

Now I'll grant you, trying to learn physics in traditional units is more
difficult than in metric...
