The only people who think that imperial is good for the carpenters or some shit are the people who never used it for anything.
I worked in civilian aviation and since the amerimutts have so much sway over the markets even the european Airbus is made with imperial and man, it's a nightmare.

Who does that?
And the torque wrenches are all either in LbfIN or LbfFT constantly confusing the technicians. Can't they all be just Lbfin, or better NM?
You have no idea how good the metric system is, only a person who worked with both can appreciate it.

You have no fucking idea how good it is to just use decimal fractrions with your calipers. They don't make the natural fraction calipers, do they? Or the gauge bullshit caliper.
Imperial system is not only the Americal retardation, they are spreading it around the world with their fat mixed race judeo-influence like cancer.
