Am I the only one who prefers metric? So much easier.

No, you're not the only one. Almost all communists prefer the metric system.

Metric absolutely makes more sense and is easier, with everything being 10's/100's/1000's. All time should be a 24hr clock, too, instead of AM/PM. I much prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius, though........more precise

I agree and while we're at it eliminate daylight savings time.

If I'd used it all the time in the Tool & Die biz I'd like it better . I used it just enough to make make me mad. There are some metric threads that have 3 and 4 different thread pitches, not just 2. It was always aggravating to get hold of an odd ball. .
