I have been in the US for 30 years but metric is way better... all that nanometer stuff in your computer is metric not imperial as well for example a 10cm cube

for example a 10cm cube filled with water weighs 1 kilo and is 1 liter, boils at 100 degrees. In the US you deal with cups pints, quarts, gallons... and you can't even convert easily between dry and liquid stuff
I do agree that steering wheels should be on the left :-)

- ranguna 3y agoDIP and DPI is a bit far from "loads" of imperial measures.
- the-dude 3y agoFlatcable pitch, disk sizes, screen sizes, passive SMD footprints (0805 is in use in EU as well ). Usage of "Mil" in PCB design ( 1/1000th of an inch ). If you look into an average computer or electronics device, lots and lots of stuff is imperial.
- joshmanders 3y agoI was being sarcastic because none is better, it's what we're used to. I can do measurements in both imperial and metric, but because imperial is widely used in MY country, I find it "superior", same with everything else.
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoI'm an American but I'd say metric is superior, even though I'm not used to it. It has more consistency and is easier to actually do science with.
