May 3, 2012 - What I said: Even with a cultural and economic superiority, the countries using the imperial system were unable to convince anyone it was a good system and even the former british territories adopted the metric system. I never tried to assert the superiority of anyone. Congratulations, you can't read. It's usually best to read a comment entirely before you write an answer if you don't want to look like a complete tool. The funniest thing being I'm neither american nor british...

May 5, 2012 - try wikipedia. look for Metrication

May 8, 2012 - imperial for manufacturing and architecture, metric for science(chem, physics etc.). Imperial is my fav though : )

treehugger99999 Says:

May 16, 2012 - Really? Imperial is for advanced mathematics? I'm sure that's why metric is the international scientific standard. Even American scientists who want their work published internationally (and who wouldn't?) use metric. It just makes sense.

May 16, 2012 - kilometers/hour

May 16, 2012 - dont go be bashing rednecks, they are some of the best engineers in america, not some illiterate, unintelligent, 4th grad punk who plays video games all day.

MidnightDesperado Says:

May 17, 2012 - What's the point of complicating things? Simple is best.

jannekei Says:

May 21, 2012 - that should be km/h !! so why do your write kpm?

May 21, 2012 - I want 25 hour days, 10 day weeks, 375 day years and 100 second minutes......or something.

May 22, 2012 - The metric system doesn't have a soul

May 22, 2012 - Imperial units have cool and varied names, metric is boring.

May 25, 2012 - Point isn't how much you use your brain, but how efficiently. While you waste your time and brainpower on conversions. Someone with simple system already moves on to solve the problem.

Artanis99 Says:

May 25, 2012 - Then by your logic addition is advanced mathematics. Here you have one "advanced problem".1100(2)+d(16)+21(12)=?(10)For everyone else12+13+25=?And to give our colleauge more time to do "advanced" mathematics we should also do this one(25x-14)^2=32-sqrt 3844x=?
