.....what?

 

Oh I can't wait to get to that level on the Train your Dragon HITs.

 

Isn't that just a reason that people hate change though?

Using imperial as long as you aren't building or converting fine though. Like for weather it might be slightly easier for most people. But converting stuff in metric is waaaay easier.

The article gives a pretty poor reason for it. It would be a non issue for machinist to stock both and all the ones that I know already do.

 

I mean, personally I prefer metric a lot of time but I'm not pretentious enough to insult people for using imperial or having a preference. Most people who grow up using imperial have 0 reason to need metric and they have no practical reason to change. Matt would fight you to the death if you tried to make him use metric all the time and he's a damn engineer, he's not stupid or unable to adapt to change, he just vastly prefers it and I'm not gonna sit there and tell him he's wrong to have a preference. I prefer some parts of imperial when I'm cooking, but I can use both as needed. It really doesn't matter though.

What I find off putting is how obnoxious it is when someone goes on rant after rant after rant about how what they think is more right than what everybody else thinks.
