    All that may be true, but doesn’t account for the way metric allows for easy calculations between energy, weight, distance and temperature.

    Freedom units are not even consistent within one system, weights are all over the place, with ounces pounds stones, length is just as bad, with inches, feet and miles. Where none of it makes any sense.

    Metric is quite simply a way superior system to freedom units, that work as well as if it was made completely random. No actually it’s probably worth, because NOTHING works in freedom units, if they were random, there might actually have been a case or two where they did by accident.

      How often do you do conversions like that.
