A guy could ramble on and on and on about the topic, but for anyone to say or think that the metric system is inferior to the British system of measurement is totally incorrect. Actually, I don't think anyone here today has said that but it has often been mentioned. It's just that it is unfamiliar and seems difficult to use. But when you think of it, our basic number system is metric (although it might not be called that). The whole 'number system' is based on tens, hundreds, and thousands in much the same way that metric measurement is. I still do a lot of thinking in the British system but temperature in Celsius, which I think was the first thing instituted back in the 70's up here, is in my everyday use and thinking, I can hardly think of Farenheit anymore. Just think, zero degrees as a freezing point for water and 100 degrees for boiling ..... as opposed to 32 degrees for freezing and 212 for boiling. Talk about confusing numbers. Whether we will ever completely shed the British system up here is doubtful in my opinion.
