The Imperial measurement system is based on human measurements, and thus is intuitive and easy to use.The metric system is an arbitrary mass of measurements that are either too small or too large to fit easily with human concepts and dimensions. The fact that most humans are between one and two meters tall, and that you need to pile up nearly 200 centimeters (a number that's impossible to visualize accurately) to make a human height, and that one meter is longer than a human stride, illustrates the problem of metrics right away -- either too much granularity, or not enough.About replacing the Imperial measurement system in general -- if it ain't broken, don't fix it.</blockquote>
