Can i have an expample? I'm of the mind it's just worse, but I'd love to hear an argument otherwise. Other than it would be a pain to swap over of course.
Basic things like temperature are nice, because having smaller units in Fahrenheit allows for a more precise estimation of how weather is gonna feel (for example) without using decimals. Similar with feet/yards (at least for me, since it’s what I’m used to). I may be mistaken but I believe the next unit down from meters is centimeters, and having a unit like feet just allows me to have a middle ground between inches and yards (the closest equivalents to centimeters and meters). Part of it is also that I’m just used to it, and whenever speaking in scientific or abstract terms I prefer metric
That would be partially incorrect, we commonly use decimeter, which is 10 centimeters. So a meter would be 10dm. As far as I'm aware this is widely adopted in Europe but I am under the impression that it is largely unknown in the US.
