And in doing that you had to covert from feet to inches, do several
arithmetical calculations, etc.

Then you'd still have to find a ruler marked in 10ths. I have one,
but it is only 6"

My Stanley Eurolock 3m 30-299 tape-measure is 300 cm x 13 mm, in a case
that's about 2 x 2 x 3/4" snicker.

I'm trying to stay flexible, but I still like calculating metric much
better.

And, to reinforce what's been said befo The metric sheets of plywood,
panelling, sheetrock, etc in Europe are indeed nominally 4x8 ft, just
measured in mm.
