Many ways. Google "why scientists use the metric system". I actually prefer feet and inches when measuring height and pounds for weight. Everything else metric.

Hah! That's actually a good read. That dude does not like metric! Even calls it sexist lol.

That guy loathes the metric system. I don't have a problem with it, just American so I like standard

Scientists use the metric system while engineers use standard. (In america anyway)

1. Wayyyy easier 2. We actually use it instead of inches in school/college 3. Most of the world uses it
-
1. Not easier 2. In school you learn both 3. So because the rest of the world does it that makes it better?
-
How is using 1/8 and 1/16 easier than out of 10? And if we use it with the rest of the world, we won't have to convert anything.
