As an engineer, and student before that, I've worked with both units as well. Metric is far easier to work with as the former, and makes learning science and engineering a lot easier for the latter. It is criminal that ignorant f'cks in this country that don't deal with the units like we do for a living, have such a say in what we use. It makes things difficult, dangerously at times, just for the sake we can say 'murica!
Yeah, but what other system has a gross or a double gross as a unit of measure.

Or slug as a unit of mass....how many slugs are you?
I don’t even understand “stone” as a unit of mass, much less “slug”. Lol
Don’t even get me to thinking about “hands” for height of a horse.
