Fractions maybe. Otherwise, it's mostly the same. You know we have decimal inches, i.e. 1.5", and that just seems so wrong.

I remember we had to learn the metric system in the 70s because it was going to "change," and there was literally never a single place where we could use or apply that new knowledge unless we were wealthy enough to travel out of the U.S. Sigh.

Decimals = fractions = percentages

People who say "Metric is easy but I have trouble with fractions" are just ignorant and lacking in basic math skills.
Hence why most Metric proponents are not very intelligent and prefer the easier Metric System.
