I will never believe you people about the superiority of imperial. Robert Breedlove's zero series made me realize why: it's inherently tied to fractional thinking, while metric is decimal. Fractions are harder to reason about, it's pre-zero thinking.

It is superior for selling stuff and communicating when you have used it your entire life.
We buy boards by the foot of length and inch of dimension. Gas by the gallon, give directions by the mile etc.
While calculation is way easier with metric, people have in their head what a mile is, what a gallon is, a quart, etc.
And I don't want know smack from people who often still give weights in stone. LOL 😝
Oh and an aside the culture that actually first invented the concept of zero, was the Mezo American civilization. A fact only recently discovered. Not sure if Robert got into that.
They're both arbitrary systems of measure and neither is sufficiently better than the other to justify the cost of learning to switch.
Base 12 is low key under rated for fraction thinkers.
