      Lol is it?

      Think of all the different numbers you have to divide different units in our system by to convert.

      numbers are base 10 for every single society on earth. Metric units always scale by 10. It’s literally perfect for how we interpret numbers

        Metric is convenient for people that understand decimal numbers. Someone is 1.70 meter in height

        Imperial was designed for people that only know fractions. Someone is 5 feet 9 inches.
