[quote=Anonymous]This is a vent: As a parent that just had to help my kid calculate distance (inches, yards, miles), WTF haven't we adopted the metric system?! Why? Namely because of nitwits like this: “[i]They’re not using gallons and miles in North Korea. They’re using the metric system—so are Iran and China. I can’t imagine why we’d want any of that in our country,[/i]” Tucker Carlson said in an interview. - WSJ Same thing with all measurements (volume or capacity). Base 10 is just easier to calculate.
