  Than remembering 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10; because metric has more measurements most people don’t use as well!

  • 10 millimetres to a centimetre
  • 10 centimetres to a decimetre
  • 10 decimetres to a metre
  • 10 metres to a decametre
  • 10 decametres to a hectometre
  • 10 hectometres to a kilometre

  I know right? it’s such an intuitive system with a convenient unit for every scale you might want to work with.

    Metric? True it’s nice to have the scales evenly spread

    I genuinely can‘t tell if you are being serious. Could you tell me at face value, I just want to know.

      yeah, it sucks. There’s no actual case for imperial over metric. it’s just what I’ve spent years getting used to and I’m not changing now.

        The imperial units were created for practical every-day measuring, so if you know how to apply them, they still hold up to the task. Just more difficult to use for large data sets.
