<< No imperial units have been taught since. >> They are in the UK
<<Any calculations involving a base 10 numbering system are better done in a decimal system. 16 ounces to a pound makes sense if you work in hexadecimal.>> I can and do work in quarters of a LB - it�s a handy division that needs no calculation. I don't work in quarters of a � as it is unnecassary. I see a distinction. (although I accept that the american "quarter" is almost that!) <<You find money matters easy to do because that is what you are familiar with. Similarly you find imperial easier because it is what you are familiar with. >> No. I find both imperial and metric easy to work with. I would not find working with both LSD and �p easy. There is a definite distinction. I choose imperial or metric depending on application. Don't forget, I was educated in only one system, yet the other system plays an equally important role in my life. <<It's like typing with two fingers. Trying to change to standard typing results in a temporary loss of efficiency, because you are not used to it. Persevere, and you'll never go back.>> I can do either, but I�d choose not to "two-finger" type. It's not comparible "We should probably avoid straying into any further EU-in-or-out argument, as it is off topic." Agreed (unless it is relevant to the topic)
