I didn't grow up with metric and I see how much clearer and easier it is.
I think that people who find metric confusing are thinking of it in terms of how it relates to imperial measurements instead of seeing them as their own measurements. Until you separate the two, it will be confusing, entirely because imperial measurements are nonsensical at best.
But then you have a number you want to convert to a smaller or larger unit of measurement, and with metric literally all you do is move a decimal point, but with imperial you have to do a series of calculations because a gallon is 16 cups, or a foot is 12 inches, or a pound is 16 ounces, etc. etc. etc. It's... pretty plain to see why metric is easier in, well, quite literally every way except for in conversion to imperial measurements... which ultimately is not the fault of the metric measurements.
Well said. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. They are both measuring systems, but that's where it ends.
The main problem in the States is that the rest of the world (minus those two minor countries <sorry to anyone from there>) uses metric for *everything*. It just doesn't make sense considering what how much the States trades with the rest of the world. Your government has got to put it's foot down and just implement it.
Like the dollar coins. Here, we had no choice, the dollar bill was phased out and replaced with the coins, and then the two dollar bill. You guys are just stubborn and spoiled.
