Shall we then discuss the pros/cons on why the US still uses the imperial system of measurements when the rest of the world uses the metric system?
Haha :P Don't get me started on that. In the UK we murdered both lol by using a cross system. My Satnav is a good example, "New Speed Limit 70MPH", turn left in approximately 100 yards, on your right in 200 meters you will reach your final destination". We don't use metric for heights of people or weight but we use it for measurements of other things.
