Nations That Don't Use The Metric System

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Nations That Don't Use The Metric System

I feel it's complete stubornness and ignorance to not move forward with a more efficient system. While i'm one of the ignorant ones who still uses pounds for human weight and lunchmeat, feet for height, and inches for...nevermind, I can admit that it's only my ignorance of not getting used to the new conversions.

Imperial example:
12 inches  = 1 foot 
3 feet  = 1 yard 
36 inches  = 1 yard 
440 yards  = quarter mile 
880 yards  = half mile 


While I think these conversions are completely retarded, I couldn't really care less what people use. They just need to start teaching the metric system more in the schools of countries that continue to use the imperial system. (*cough* United States)

exactly, name one womans foot thats 12 inches long!


I won't bring up concious nightmares here...
