The Imperial system is actually easier to use inherently because its numbers are more divisible.. 12 can be divided into 6 3 2.. With 10 you only get 5 and 2. So you half it but half it again and you get awkward 2.5. The metric system only seems easier if you've been drilled it in from a young age.

TEN IS NOT A MAGIC NUMBER. IT DOES NOT MAKE A SYSTEM SPECIAL OR MORE EFFICIENT. IT JUST MAKES IT LOOK NICER COS WE HAVE 10 FINGERS.
