    You have to remember those connections. Guess what a foot is based on.

    I wasn’t saying each system couldn’t be used to do the others’s strong suit, just that each is better at an aspect. You can do big calculations in USGS, as well, but why would you?

    Also, I’m not advocating that countries where people use metric change their system, only that they spend their time on things besides trying to change a system perfectly well suited to most purposes of the people that use it simply because it’s not theirs. When Americans come in and try to change other cultures because “our way is better,” it’s a dick move, yeah? Well, it’s not better the other way.
