The thing is, I don't think either is inheritently better. It's a matter of perception. I grew to the metrics, you grew to imperials. To me, imperials don't make much sense, and I'm sure it's somewhat same with you and metrics. Now I do think that in heat scales, celsius is more logical than fahrenheit, but then I do give some credit to imperial lenght units, which have somewhat more sensible units than metrics. Then again, as that graphic about weights pointed out, there's absolutely no logic in imperial weights
