Metric isn't all that much better than Imperial. The only advantage Metric has is that it's easier to do conversions, that's literally it. Unless you work in a laboratory setting where you need to do a whole bunch of conversions quickly, you're probably just fine using Imperial, and I think Imperial absolutely blows Metric out of the water when it comes to "everyday" applications. A foot is the length of your foot, an inch is a about from the knuckle of your thumb to the tip 0 degrees is really cold but livable, 100 degrees is really hot bur livable, etc. Every Metric measurement is based off of something horrifically obscure like how far light travels in a fraction of a second, yet they're going to turn around and go "HURR HURR YOU MEASURE BY HOGSHEADS". Metric is a system that only makes sense if you're the person in the office crunching data, if you have to actually measure stuff in the field with hand tools, it's an unlubricated spiky dildo. The only people that openly simp for metric are seething Europoors and American Europhiles. Which is more contemptible, I leave to you.
The worst part is that for all this insistence that us Americans just need to "gEt wItH tHe pRoGrAm" and switch to the metric, most of the industries where it makes sense to switch have already done so. Science, medicine and most high-tech fields have already switched over. Meaning that when Europeans are talking about how ass-backwards Americans are for using, they're kvetching about road signs and food measurements. That's how you know you have a heckin' superior culture right there, when you're throwing autistic meltys over the fact that you had to read a sign in miles instead of kilometers.
