> metric system is retarded for anything practical.  except all science and engineering on the planet, including u.s. are done in metric > pressure for example, let's say 10psi. that's 10 pounds on every square inch. you can quickly and easily visualize that. 100psi is a lot of pressure. wtf is a pound, up to 60s you and brits had a different definition of what pound is, then you sat and decided - to define it in metric system kilograms > 10 centimeters. well, what's a centimer? it's too small and abstract to be useful. but a foot being your foot and then 1/12 of a foot makes perfect sense. you are aware that your foot isn't same as everybody's else on the planet. in that manner you could very well define units as very short, short, normal length, long, very long
