[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

The Metric System was created for lower I.Q. lay-people to use.

Many kids and adults these days struggle to even learn how to use the Metric System, so it won't matter any even if we changed everything from Imperial to Metric. [/quote]

So kids and adults these days who use the Imperial system are too stupid to use a system created for lower IQ people?

How does that even make sense?[/quote]

They aren't. The "stupidity" is thinking as you do, that ignorance is the reason for resistance. You simply don't "get it".

It’s a big ask but any chance you could articulate a coherent thought?[/quote]
